[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 179940, member: 8635"] I was brought up on shooting film when I started taking pictures back in 1969. It amazes me how for over forty years that I managed to get some fairly nice pictures with only a 35mm Nikon F with adjustments for ASA, shutter speed, and F stop. Every time I start using Photoshop I wonder how my pictures turned out as well as they did all of those years without all these extra adjustments. I realize that software just takes the place of the darkroom but how many of us actually have done any darkroom work? I know some have but I would have to think it is a very small amount, especially if you compare it to the number of people that use software to adjust their pictures today. I use PhotoShop and will continue to use it for fine adjustments. A friend of mine will take a picture and then spend hours working on the same photo and I have to wonder if more time and thought had been spent in preparation for taking the image in the first place if the time spent in post work would have been much less. This is just my opinion but when you spend the majority of your time fixing your images instead of taking them, you may want to back up and take a second look at what you are doing. [/QUOTE]
