would you at least conceed that today's digital photographer has far more
sophisticated and easier to apply post processing tools than the guy who
took the photograph of your great grand parents?

My point was that I find it odd that an image that has been processed to
such a level that it is totally isolated form the gravity of it's 'original'
elements can be passed off as photography...art is art, photography is also
art....perhaps we should consider those with very high and sophisticated
levels of post processing skills 'artists', too?

It would be simply absurd to claim they are not.
