Coming Meeting

Topic
We will be discussing the pro’s and con’s of digital editing/manipulation and possible ethics. This can be anything from a simple ‘levels’ change or any preparation to get it ready for printing to cloning, merging etc.
On this subject everyone to be an expert and we would like each person to let us know their thoughts on this matter.
For those who use editing programs: what do you use? What do you do? If you would like to give a demonstration that would be great. Bring a laptop if you like. Laptops will be there. One will have Lightroom, Photoshop CS3 and Pro Show Gold. If you would like to bring examples of some work that would be good also.
