[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 9952, member: 1061"] The short version: Yes. The long version: We've touched on this topic in a couple different threads, and it's one that will continue to come up in the photography industry as a whole, now and forever. The "purist" wants validation for their skill, as does the "post processor". I would argue that there is no such thing as a pure anymore, especially when shooting digital. Even the film gurus are always looking for an edge in the darkroom to produce better quality photos. If something is truly pure, there's no need to try to define it at all, it just "is". While I admire those who are aperture savvy, who take the time to set up the perfect shot...in my mind, there's a better/faster alternative. But that's just my experience vs. theirs. While I can breeze through Photoshop, some are honestly intimidated by it. While some shooters can make instant f/stop calculations in their heads to set everything up in-camera, I can't. [/QUOTE]
