Default When or When Not to Photoshop

I am using Photoshop as a catchall for any programs you may use.

When is it okay to use Photoshop? When is it not okay to use Photoshop? I understand the multitude of resources we have at our disposal for digital photography, but I wonder what others think about this topic. When is it art, when is it cheating, when is it okay to use Photoshop?

No argument, just your thoughts. I understand the "art is your own" mentality, but I have not ever discussed this with anyone to see if the digital photgraphy community has a set of rules or ethics in the use of "enhanced photography."

Thanks!

Bob
