| Re: Image manipulation.
Nothing wrong with image manipulation as long as the image is a fair representation of the original. If the clone tool wasn’t there you wouldn’t use it, but the same goes for the unsharp filter, levels, noise reduction ect.
It also depends on your skill. Cloning a twig out of a dark bird with little feather detail is a lot easier than a bird with a bright plumage in good light.
At the moment I am going back and redoing my old images as my skill has improved.
