Can, like others have said, a good photo required a good exposure and a good composition. PS only allows you to sharpen up the tones a little.heroyui said:I see , so means that a dslr user w/o a pc can't ever take a good photo straight away from camera .

behyx said:actually u cannot compare something analog and digital. The former being film is of course much simplier when taking photo. Because there is absolutely no digital interference anywhere between the subject and the film, therefore the deciding factor is only the lens and film types.
However for digital, there's a CCD/CMOS which is the most crucial part, and because it being a digital device, it can mimic film BUT can never be as 'true' as it is. It's just like many audiophile says vinyl is much superior to CD.. It's the same logic behind.
Also, unless you take a perfectly correct exposure of your liking in your photograph using film, otherwise the lab will still do correction to your exposure during printing, which is similar to us using photoshop!

For pro-series bodies, the sensors are usually very sensitive and capture a lot of detail, and tend to be less sharp. Consumer series bodies usually have some post-processing done by the camera.
For me, my 1D Mark II usually requires a fair bit of post-processing after shooting as images are not that sharp.

Pls correct me if i'm wrong

LittleWolf said:Yes, the comparison with audiophile "logic" is striking. In particular since a CCD is an analog device.
With (negative) film, you either spend a lot of time in the darkroom, or you hand the work over to a photofinisher (or a minilab) who may or may not deliver pictures acceptable to your taste.
With digital image files, you either spend a lot of time at the computer, or you hand the work over to a photofinisher (or a minilab) who may or may not deliver pictures acceptable to your taste.
And the difference is ... ?
