Well, actually, I'm told photographers use the dodge and burn tools. And if we're blurring the lines between being a painter and a photo manipulator, what's to stop anyone from using it well?

I've got no issues with using texture from a photo as a technique. But it does raise a question when that particular techinque dominates a work. There have been a couple or instances recently with some Hubble Telescope based images for instance. Those paintings wouldnt exist if not for the borrowed imagery.

As far as which tools to use and not use, that's the pointless debate. If I heeded the advice of every art teacher or professional or critic that told me not to use something, I'd do nothing. Tell me I'm using it inappropriately or I could be making better use of something else, but forbidding it is pretty silly.
