That would be only happen in advertisment.
user111 said:what is wrong with that idea? THAT shoud be the correct idea. please do no use the old school "the man behind the camera bla bla" concept to dismiss the thread starter's idea.
in the past when i was using my 1D, i tweaked some settings and loaded a custom curve. and truly enough, i really enjoyed 99% correction free pictures straight out from the camera itself
and there is no need to be so sarcastic as to post the roll-eyes icon to dismiss the threadstarter's ideas.:thumbsd:
That's great, you should sell the custom curve that you tweaked, so you can be rich, or should I say canon should pay you big $$$ so they can use the custom curve install in all the canon cameras.user111 said:sorry. i did it with my 1D in the past. dont be so quick to dismiss this notion

I spend as much time on PS as I spend on shooting. In fact shooting is the easy part. PSing in areas like tonal control, colour correction, retouching etc require skill.
I do believe that the more care you take while shooting you may reduce works in PS later. However if I use my images straight from the box, they would be flat and lifeless.
shinken said:I know of a studio who use their DI-artists as their photographers. These DI people come in knowing nothing about photography. The photographer teaches them some basics, throw them some digital backs, and they started shooting assignments and subsequently work on the post processing.
Some people will tell you it's important. Some people will tell you it's not. It depends on the photographer and the end user. If it's for casual shooting, photos to be admired by friends, it probably isn't that important. If it's for selling to clients, and clients are the average end users who don't bother to discern the differences, it probably isn't that important. If the clients can tell the subtle differences, or appreciate the dramatic differences post-processing can do, then yes, I believe it's important.
