However, I'm less willing to accept it as a way to present everyday images (ie, the fireworks example) as I feel it runs the risk of transforming such appealing, spontaneous, lifelike moments into mechanically enhanced facsimiles. Which in turn raises the attendant question of how much post-processing constitutes _too_ much? Regards, Roscoe Mr. Chapman, I can appreciate the utility of this technique in astrophotography.
