but do you notice how digital cameras seem to loose the bright vibrance or deep contrast of the colours. I notice that a lot - my blues are never as vibrant as the real thing, my yellows are cream , my deep reds are indian brown (the crayola colour PC POLICE!)
It's like reality gets a dull wash.
Since they are digital images - I guess its not cheating if you filter them through photoshop to regain the lost colout.

I don't think so. Nor do I think it is cheating to do the same for wet photography. Nor is it cheating to paint from a photograph. Or use paint in tubes rather than mixing it yourself. Or lighting a fire with a lighter instead of a flintstone...
