[QUOTE="AC016, post: 363421, member: 9619"] I am in a darkroom every night........ sleeping. Software does not make us lazy. We can only be lazy on our own. Sure, software can give you shortcuts, but it is your choice to take them or not. I suppose to a certain degree, the old darkroom could have made folks lazy as well. After all, you could get the exposure slightly off with film and use push/pull techniques. Or, there is always dodging and burning. Therefore, i imagine you did not have to get it 100% correct with film either. If you take your photography with any degree of seriousness, you are going to want to use your camera and all it's functionality to get it as right as you can. Software is there to perhaps "correct" the small percentage you got wrong. If anyone is using software as a crutch, then they will go nowhere fast. If you're a lazy person by nature; then yes, you will see software as a gift. If Giovanni Antonio Canal were able to come back from the dead, he just may ask why we are all lazy and cheating by using a "light box" to capture a landscape scene. After all, painting it would be the proper way to go. In the end though, content is king and it matters not if the photograph was taken with film, is digital, is post processed, etc. Content is what matters over everything else. [/QUOTE]
