old film cameras give you the pride of knowing that you took a photo that needed no touch-up post clicking that button. with photoshop its almost impossible to take a bad photo really, and that to me takes out the fun of taking photos, cause photos are supposed to capture real life moments and not moments that are run through adobe's eye.... Not necessarily. You can alter a photo a lot in the darkroom, and with special dyes made to touch-up images afterwards. Retouching and image-alteration has been going on for decades; long before the advent of photoshop. However, you are right, there is a bigger sense of pride with film because you only get a limited number of shots, and it's a lot more expensive to produce them. |

the things you do are all you still though
if i wanted to do something to a photo in photoshop all i have to do is click color burn theres no technique you have the option to undo what you did and redo it. you can spend as long as you want without restart only clicking undo.

with photoshop its almost impossible to take a bad photo really I find the opposite is true. With cheaper digital bodies and lenses, in addition to Photoshop, we now have a bunch of people walking around thinking they're hot shit because they can point a "big camera", press the shutter, and do some "wacky effects" in Photoshop. Now ask them anything remotely related to the art, science and mechanics of photography and you'll likely get a blank stare in return. The "art" is slowly being diluted by people who know little more than how many megapixels their camera has. |

Not really. :-\ And like Firequall stated, most people don't know what their doing in Photoshop, nor the artistic elements of photography. It takes A LOT more than Photoshop to make a good photo.  |

Doesn't make it good. Photoshop was built to be a digital darkroom, so proper use of it will enhance photos. And honestly, people bought disposable cameras and thought they were hot shit too, just like they do with photoshop these days. You're gonna meet them everywhere lol |

i dont even know why we are arguing this the fact of the matter is that film camera's take far more skill then a digital, not only that but they have nostalgic value, the second of those two points cant be argued by someone who shoots using a digital cause i do too most of the time, but everyone knows that film is just more fun, makes you feel more authentic.

i donno but to me that last comment sounds like you have some kind of delusion of grandeur. like you make yourself out to be amazing..... i'm not saying you arent or anything but i'm just stating your coming across kinda arrogant.
