Indeed, but even back on "the old days", processing was taking place in the
darkroom. I've got nothing against processed pictures as it takes the whole
photography thing from something other than a snapshot of a split second
into an art form of its own.

Great for those who are photographers or lovers of dramatic pictures, but a
little (I hate to say misleading, but that's the only word I can think of
right now so...) misleading to those who are attracted to places shown in
photo's. Granted these photo's are usually designed to attract people to
places (advertisements an' all that) but there are some out there, me
included, who never realised the extent to which some photo's have been
tweaked.

I'd never heard of HDR for a start. I've *seen* pictures that I now know
have been "HDR-ed" but I thought that the photographer had spent time
lighting a scene and then clicking the button, not clicking the button then
generating something later on the computer.

Still very interesting mind.

<reads>

Still doesn't really answer the question. _You_ may want to know, but
I can't work out in what way it would be 'important'. It's only a
picture, FFS.
