[QUOTE="Disorderly, post: 80036, member: 10297"] In my experience there are two kinds of photographers: those who use software like Photoshop to enhance the image as it came out of the camera; and those who see the camera's output as the starting point for a digital creation. There's probably a continuum between the two. But either way, there are likely very few serious photographers who just take the camera's output and stop there. It's nothing new. I was surprised to discover just how much processing got done by photo labs in the days of film. Scanning some negatives, I saw a vast difference between my scans and the prints I got with the processed film. Color correction, red eye reduction; and that's without asking for any special treatment. I'm told that Ansel Adams had detailed notes for how his negatives were to be printed. What he did in the darkroom, we do with software. I like our way better. (I live by the Undo function.) [/QUOTE]
