1. There has been some debate over whether or not photography should be considered a fine art. With the rise of digital editing software, photographers now have the ability to touch up and modify photographs considerably while still being able to call their work "photography". Does this added creative control over photographs push the medium over the edge and firmly into the territory of "fine art"?
2. Much of this chapter refers to art, particularly but not exclusively digital art, as imperfect copies of reality. Many non-artists use this mindset to judge the quality of art. However, this view seems very narrow minded, as not all artists create with the intent of copying the real world. At what point is art looked at as original and not as an attempt at replicating something else?
