Old School?
Most people who claim to be "Old School" are under the mistaken impression that good photographers in the past never manipulated their images in the old days when they used film. That is so untrue that it is laughable. Where in the world do you think the idea of "dodging" and "burning" came from. The only difference was that instead of using Photoshop, those photographers used chemicals during the developing process, or an airbrush in post production.
To think that someone who makes adjustments in Photoshop which include manipulating the sharpness, or the color saturation, or whatever is somehow "cheating" is just about the most naive and uninformed statement I've ever heard.
