No Photoshop Needed

"You know that's been Photoshopped.", "Photoshop!", "That has to be Photoshop."  It amazes me that so   many people have nothing better to do than state the obvious or reject reality by making the photo shop claim. Do you honestly feel that we, the viewing public, do not have the ability to discern the difference between computer generated images and natural phenomena?  Does it make you feel superior to be able to post the word Photoshop in the comments section as if your far superior skills of reasoning needed to be shared with the rest of us mere mortals?

I am sick and tired of people making this claim. It belittles and annoys the rest of us. It shows a lack of creative spirit and spontaneity. It shows an inability to enjoy the moment and a lack of suspension of disbelief. It shows a need to control others perceptions of reality. It shows a stupidity in that the person making the comment feels that the entire online community has nothing better to do than create images specifically designed to fool you and your job is to point it out.

No Photoshop has been harmed or used in the writing of this statement (just in case you weren't sure)
