There are two camps when it comes down to digitally manipulated images, those who see it as an extension of the artistic creative process and those who claim its no longer photography. I will declare my colours nw and say that I fall into the first group, but you all knew that anyway.

So whilst stumbling around the interweb I came upon this little beauty of a site, which describes some of the pre-digital manipulations which were and still are undertaken by traditional print workers.

To be honest I don't see any difference in the techniques used in these prints, just the tools.

Hope you like the site, I find it quite inspiring.

Have to agree with you here.
When i worked in a dark room i did as much manipulation as i do now.
I only work on black and white images but there was always a lot of doging and burning, and adding filters to enhance areas. Did a bit of double negative and masking stuff as well. So photoshop is just the digital equivalent.
Even the great Ansel Adams manipulated his work. Espessialy using the same sky for different images.

Great site.
