[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 597764, member: 31397"] IMO , its easy to learn if you have some things going for you, great memory for what you just did, and someone patient looking over your shoulder and getting you acclimated. That being said , I didnt find it easy at all, I still dont really know how to use half the tools in it. But , even so , you must give it its due, you arent doing your own work taking the photos justice without it. I met some folks recently who said they think its either 'cheating' , or not really important. I disagree because 1) theres nothing 'real' about a digital photo other than the subject. Theres always some kind of processing to render the image even straight from the camera. Its totally a senseless idea not to allow the user themselves to adjust the photo, and lean on the engineers guesswork. and because 2) there are variables in the field one has no control over, such as evaluating the levels of light in various parts- Portions of the image , even using handheld meters.
