Digital Photography Revolution

Alright here’s an OP question for us all…?

Has the digital revolution challenged the truth and credibility of images ?
Photography used to be the evidential medium and the very definition of visual truth. Used to be someone challenged your image, your show em’ the negative or slide. Tangible, real, and containing the information as captured. Even the most skilled darkroom artist would be hard pressed to alter the image beyond focus and exposure during printing with believable results. So has the digital capture/ darkroom actually caused the general public to doubt an image’s credibility ? Especially a great shot, I hear it all the time ‘bah you can do that with digital’

Thanks J-man…. for the Q!!

Personally, I think there are 3 sides to this issue.

Some people just wont beleive that something is real, for whatever reason. The paranoid “people”.

Some people believe everything they see is real, just because. The “faithful”.

And, I am hoping there are more of these, the people that use rational thought to keep an open mind, or at least not be closed minded. The “normal”. I hope

Whether its film, or digital, these things havent changed.

I think the digital age has blurred the lines for some. But there has always been challenges.

How many magazines have published photos outside of most peoples expereince. Like 2 headed turtles. When things are published like that, its hard to show everyone the negative, or even the 2 headed turtle. Some scoff, some beleive, and some enjoy the pic, and wonder.
