Photography Question

The Digital Darkroom


At what point should I enter a photo in the digital darkroom rather than another category. If I've removed and replaced the bg from a portrait, used some color adjustments and ran the USM filter and maybe a bit of another filter, should that photo now be in the people category or in the digital darkroom?

  Good question Barbara! I'm thinking here it's not so much of an issue, but another site I visit if you put something in the wrong category they remove it.
So far I'm guessing if a film photographer can accomplish something in a darkroom, ie color, contrast, exposure...then it's not a manipulation for digital. Now if we start taking one sky and putting in another (for example) that would be my definition of manipulation.
