1. If I take a photograph and make a print, and then use an airbrush to retouch that print to remove a mole on a girl's face, is that still a photograph?
NO
2. If I take a photograph in a regular film camera and scan the film into the computer, is it still a photograph?
YES
3. If I use the computer to remove some telephone lines from that picture, is it still a photograph?
NO
4. If I print it out on an Epson printer, is it still a photograph?
YES
5. If I add a moon to a night scene by double exposure from two negatives in the darkroom, is it still a photograph?
YES
6. If I add a moon using a computer, is it still a photograph?
NO
On the other hand, all of the 'NO's turn to YES if you take a photograph of the
image you created...
