>>108300Now here's a flawed ideology.
Fun fact: If you don't post process it yourself, your camera will do it for you.
Now, people who boast about this is just letting their cameras decide how the image should look like. If you want your camera to give you the final outcome of your photo, fine by anyone, but don't assume you're a level higher than anyone who post processes their photos.
Many respected film shooters do their post processing in the darkroom.
There are many situations where post processing had to be done else it'd look like shit. There are elements you cannot control, such as the temperature of the lights, small bullcrap in the frame, the lens's distortion and aberrations, and uneven lighting.
Your thinking isn't far away from the truth though. Cameras output something artificial, it is up to us humans to put some life into the photos, to post process it the way we perceive the scene, rather than have a computer do it for us. Also, you're right, sometimes when people use photoshop, people like I end up making it look farther from reality. But I'd rather base it on my preferences rather than the preferences of a camera.
But the reality you see right now isn't man's vision. You perceive a photograph's reality through the camera's reality.
Are you trying to defend a camera's perception of reality?
