I just steal er borrow the talent from others.
However, I'm sending a resume to Rooters, AP, AFP, ABCNNBCBS, and the NY Slimes. It says that I will lie, photoshop or stage photos to embarrass Israel and the US.
A photographer who doesn't own a copy of PS isn't worthy to be called a professional. It's as essential a tool in digital photography as a camera and lens. The WaPo may dictate what is on their company laptops, but there is no way in which that would limit their photographer's access, if desired at any time.
I would like someone to tell me where to go to learn how to do this. I have Photoshop CS plus 10 grankids. Since they live literally from the Atlantic to the Pacific, we rarely get together as a family en masse. I'd like to get pictures of each and put them together.

Great!
This is why I like to link up with Free Republic and have a couple of cups of coffee in the morning with the real news and some great laughs.
In most papers it is a firing offense to load any unauthorized software on a company computer. They have access to Photoshop, but only in the office (or at home). Deadlines require most daily shooters to work on their company laptops in the field (i.e. Starbucks) and file electronically.
This is a hot button issue among photojournalists. There is constant debate over where to draw the line. The Reuters case was blatant, but there have been cases in the US among staffers as well. The most famous was the LA Times photog in Iraq, but a photographer from Charlotte, NC was just fired for embellishing a news photo from a fire.
The focus on photoshop really distracts from the bigger issues of bias. Journalists allow themselves to be willing propagandists when they agree with their subjects and only become pitbulls when they dislike the subject. The same is true in photojournalism. The setup shots from Qana are far worse than clumsy cloning -- yet AP, Reuters and other services defend their handling of the hezbollah agitprop photo-op.
Hezbollah stage manages every aspect of Lebanese coverage, yet the debate in journalism is about the ethics of being embedded with US troops.
A local camera store such as a Cord or Roberts, that sells high end equipment and only photographic equipment, usually have classes on digital photography and probably cover such editing tools.
You are so bad!
Great!
(HORRID GASH/NO BLOOD-at least they've started plastering the bodies in dust more evenly)
Apparently, others have noticed the similarities in the two photographers' work. The Jawa Report cites these two "different" images by the two different photographers:
Awe heck, maybe it's just a typo...
The name of the band should be something like "Lee Oswald and the Cleanup Crew"
This is pure Reuters damage control.
This is 100% BS. She is glossing over the OTHER aspects of photoshop.
IT IS NOT A MERE COLOR BALANCE TOOL.
This is about altering the image.
There is absolutly no reason at all to trust Reuters. I am completly stuned at the hypocracy of the Mediots in circling the waggons to protect Reuters at the expence of their credibility.
If you see reuters now it is a seal of fakery.
Where are the pics of that dead baby they carried from site to site for a week? Those are the worst.
