-You have to decide, like with any other branch of photography, “Am I a documentarian or an artist?” For a documentarian your question makes sense; if you’re an artist the question doesn’t make sense.+You have to decide, as with any other branch of photography, “Am I a documentarian or an artist?” For a documentarian your question makes sense; if you’re an artist the question doesn’t make sense.
  
 For the artist the questions is, “What is my style?” “What artistic license will I take?” and “What manipulation limits do I embrace in my work?” For the artist the questions is, “What is my style?” “What artistic license will I take?” and “What manipulation limits do I embrace in my work?”
  
-We see the same thing in landscape photography. How much post-processing do my style and my ethics allow? All B&W photography and all infrared photography are artistic because they cannot approximate what the eye sees. Astrophotography is this way, too, especially when we use filters to enhance or reject certain wavelengths of light.+We see the same thing in landscape photography.

-Furthermore //every// jpeg file we see, even straight from a camera, has artistic decisions built into it. When you compare a jpeg from Nikon with one from Sony, Canon, or Fuji you will see differences, because some engineer/color scientist decided for each company how their color jpeg should look when they convert a “natural” raw file for human comsumption. Which one is “right?” It depends on each artist’s eye.\\  +Furthermore, //every// jpeg file we see, even straight from a camera, has artistic decisions built into it.
