About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of digital processing in photography and how the definition of 'better' varies based on personal criteria.

Doesn't this depend on the criteria we assign as better? Removing an object makes the image less truthful. Moving an object makes the image less geometrically or optically accurate. Changing the contrast or the tonal relationships makes the image less like human vision. Altering the natural colors makes the image artificially intense. How do you define "better" in your work?
