I assume your system is color calibrated?

I'm not typically shooting "art" as much as I am for "coverage". At a race, I try to get several shots of every car I can while it's on the track. I'll "stand" at one spot on the track and get a bunch of shots in quick succession, several a minute.

In post, I won't be able to do all of the shots from the weekend in one big batch, but I can often get batches of a few dozen to a couple of hundred shots. That makes a big difference when you're posting, say, three thousand shots from four or five days. Heck, I missed a day and a half of the Petit le Mans, photographically, this year, and I still shot over 1,500 frames. So *I* *hate* *post*. :-)

Actually, these days, I shoot RAW+JPG and use the JPG files the vast majority of the time. Every once in a while I need the raw to clean up some under or over exposure or because I can't avoid cropping the shot. But most of my post processing these days boils down to using the "delete" key a lot.
