[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 233830, member: 14443"] My point was not about time. if you edit slowly thats fine. I was noting those that take 20+ per photo who edit the crap out of the photo where it looks nothing like the original or even close to. I believe in enhancing but not changing where its not recognizable from the original. copying pieces from other images . my point is if you cant get close to the picture you wanted through the gear, the software doesnt make you a great photographer. that person is no skill. its no skill to click buttons of plugins. when I shoot, I chimp the pics and say, yea, kick ass! I dont say, eh, Ill fix it in PS. I say, man this looks great, and once I tweak the color a little (fix the dance floor lights color cast a bit towards warmish colors) its going to look perfect. not, crap! but ill salvage it in PS. im saying, tweak and correct but sheesh people dont have limits. you should be at 90% of the image you want through skill and gear, not software. I respect a photog who's work is clean and doesnt need add on bling to make it stand out. clean and simple photographic style is classic and timeless and will always be relevant. photoshop bling is according to trend and is temporary.
