Anyway

I see Flickr has announced online photo editing, something that will be really useful for those times when I just don’t happen to have some other program handy. In particular when I’m trying to get the colour balance on my stash photos right, of course <grin />. I wonder whether the temptation to punch up the colours and brightness on photos to make everything more interesting will increase? And whether that will make people start to see the real world as a poor substitute for the view seen through a camera lens? One reason I don’t take a lot of photos is because you can document experiences (by photographing), or you can be part of the experience. It’s hard to do both at once. But I’m still glad that touching up photos I do take to make them more realistic will be easier.
