Originally posted by jwiles So, When you take a photo, to get it right in camera, you've left everything at natural. No boosting of sharpness, contrast, saturation, etc. No adjustments of WB, no digital filters. Correct? Because if you are not, then make no mistake about it, you are post processing. The only difference would be the tool you are using to do it. Quite honestly, if I'm going to show/print a photo, I want to see what it looks like As I am preparing to do so, on more than a shitty 3 inch screen where the results of doing so can actually be seen. There is No lack of 'craftsmanship' in doing so.
The people who don't shoot RAW or RAW+ because they don't like the results of the RAW file, don't seem to be aware of what RAW even is. There is not now, nor has there ever been, a digital camera that did not shoot RAW in some form. The difference is whether or not it gets saved.
So you can mark me down for software. If that makes me less of a photographer than others here, so be it.
