There are few perfect shots; almost anything can be processed in some way depending on your tastes. Most problems were much harder to fix with film so we just accepted what we got or, more to the point, took more time at the shooting end.

I was chastised on the Pentax forums for saying i usually have to post process just about every shot i want to keep or sell. He said i don't know what i';m doing if i need to post process. Most times its just a WB tweak or maybe just a brightness jump, but nothing severe.. If it is, i reshoot.:-) Now with the D1, they needed levels, wb and magenta teaks. I don't see anything wrong with spending a bit of tiem with post processing. If its not the photographer, i'm sure the lab does.
