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.
