Answer 1

Explanation: because it lacked something beyond mere mechanism at the bottom of it. "At best, critics viewed photography as a useful too fir painters to record scenes that they may later more artfully render with their brushes.

Answer 2

Photography is an art, although not everyone agrees and it’s up to the person if they consider it an art or not.

Since it’s an art, filtering/editing photography could be considered digital art but it’s just the process most photographers do to make their photos the way they want it. Same reason traditional/digital artists sometimes edit their art.
