That's my point - every photo is processed. Light hits a photosensitive surface, and then a bunch of stuff has to happen before you can see the image. With film, you have to develop the film and print the image, with digital, a computer "develops" that mess of 1s and 0s, and either you or a computer further tweak that.

Oooh, I'd never thought about it that way - very funny!
BTW, i do believe that jpg with custom settings is PP. In that case does that make RAW the new 'film' (soon to be obsolete)
Raw "soon to be obsolete"? Have I missed something? I don't pay much attention to the techie end of things much of the time, but... what?
