I know exactly what you are saying, but it is also exactly my point. What you (and many other people) are doing is to bring the joy of the instant of the shutter tripping to the digital darkroom, which is the advantage of the digital photography. When I do shoot in RAW, I of course have to sit in front of computer anyway. But I rather like fiddle with exposure, bracketing and other things just as I used to shoot the film. That's my pleasure. In film cameras, it used to be "what you push (shutter button) is what you get" and no going back to the image. Please note that jpeg shooting to me is mostly for the snap shooting for printing, and it still gives some latitude for adjustment later, if one want. There are many people who think the same way like me. They think the digital photography took the pleasure of shutter tripping after much "thinking" and brought it right into the digital darkroom for later manipulations, that in itself is just fine. I do a lot of those. But that part in strict sense is no longer a picture taking (at least to me). But as I said, it's up to individual how to enjoy the digicam, and do not wish to waste anybody's time in arguing about this philosophical matter :-).
