You're not obliged to do any post-processing - that's why cameras have jpeg options: set & forget, just as you might have chosen a particular type of film. In the film days I normally shot Kodachrome, largely because I had no interest in post-processing other types of film. I didn't have the skills and didn't understand the variables in the way that someone like Bill Robb did, for example. However, I do have a good grasp of the variables of digital processing, and with the right tools I find it very easy to get a result that I'm happy with using a mechanical workflow which doesn't rely on my defective colour vision. > Time saved by instant results is erased by time spent > post-capture processing. Depends on the outcome you're after, but that's not my experience. With prints, for example, I can get a far higher quality that satisfies me much more quickly than I ever could by getting even a really good printer to print from Kodachrome.
