Back in the film days this often-repeated claim used to rile me greatly, and it still does. 'Good photographers' take good pictures. That's all it takes to be a good photographer. You certainly don't need to be a good post-processor to be a good photographer. Henri Cartier-Bresson, among many others, is the proof of that. And simple logic should tell you anyway - this silly nonsense about 'good photographers' excludes everybody who used to shoot Kodachrome. Conversely, being a good post-processor or a good printer does not necessarily make a person a good photographer, as a look at any camera club print show will demonstrate.
