Though, I'm quite aware most images are manipulated to some effect for presentation on the web...I have 'suddenly' realized it has become quite difficult to identify 'digitally altered' images...even viewing images firsthand, in person, in hand...
For me personally, I have always felt some sense of security knowing, or at least being able to identify 'something' and assume that an image was altered or photoshopped to some degree....usually from a stray 'whatever' - too soft, too crisp, dof, wrong shadow, lighting, etc...
But lately...quite recently, I realized I honestly can't tell on many...the usual 'tells' are gone....which now forces me to question more....and lends toward a feeling of distrust in general....
I wonder if being 'too perfect' will be the eventual demise of digital art? (of course I am bias - but really?)
Anyone else have thoughts on this? or a similar feeling of 'distrust'? Curious.
Cheers,
Dan
