Adams and Photoshop - Photo Techniques Jan/Feb 2004

[Desperate Sam]

This page has a Photoshop Action for use by digital photographers, called "Yosemite Sky". I tried it and on the right pictures it does something that approaches the Ansel style.

The page has a quote from Ansel....

"I eagerly await new concepts and processes. I believe that the electronic image will be the next major advance. Such systems will have their own inherent and inescapable structural characteristics, and the artist and functional practitioner will again strive to comprehend and control them." - Ansel Adams, "The Negative" 1981.

Ansel Adams would not just be using digital imaging and Photoshop ... he would be TEACHING US about them!

[Frank Petronio]

Well, he did do an ad for Apple... even after he was dead - that takes brand loyalty.

what just slays me in these type of multi-monologues is the inherent presumption by nearly everyone that in any given genre there is the unquestioned presumption that there is only one "best" photographer. It is sillier than presuming that there is only one best print by AA of the "Moonrise Over Hernandez, N.M" negative.
