Having recently bought my first DSLR and after spending far to long looking through this forum, i have to ask does everyone use software to tweak their pictures?
I see so many picture where it's quite obvious that its been retouched and some where i'm not sure.
Is it possible (with time and plenty of practice) to get really good quality pictures without any software fiddling (with perhaps the exception of cropping the picture)?
A small part of the reason in buying myself a DSLR was to get me out the house and away from the computer, not to spend more time sat on it tweaking pictures.
So how important is it?
