The old saying "Take it don't Make it" just doesn't apply in our digital world but it is still worth trying to achieve.
Did it ever apply? Those of us who did our own darkroom work "made" every photo.

That is a very true statement. Although in the dark room we were limited to 'adjustments” we could make. From developer to stop to fix and dogeing (Sp?) and burning are nothing compared to abilities that are available in today's digital environment.

He was speaking his mind, unless that's not permitted any more.
Aside from the fact that his statement was true.
If you don't like a comment, walk past it, don't squish people from speaking their mind.

A lot more could be done in the darkroom than most people imagine. Check out https://www.uelsmann.net
All done in the darkroom, although granted it was a lot more difficult than Photoshop.

Coming from a background of years of shooting Kodachrome, I try very hard to get it right SOOC as I don't like editing RAW files. That said I always edit every Jpeg as they can always be improved with slight light touch editing of things like exposure, clarity, saturation, or contrast.

My post processing is rudimentary at best, but I get pretty satisfying results with a zoom lens, a camera (Sony A77) that is smarter than I am, taking care to set up the shot and then taking lots of shots at it. That's the nice thing about digital - they're just electrons and you can throw away the rejects and not shed a tear.
Learning editing skills is next on my list, but I'm having lots of fun at this level!

)That sounds about right. Even though it maybe the "umpteen" time, it is still a "fair game" subject for opinion and comment. I will still try to contribute when I have the time. Otherwise, I will pass by some.
I do like this subject. For me, it is always about getting it SOOC so it will not require touch up. Without any real PP software, free or otherwise, it becomes important to me to get it right the first time. That sometimes pushes my camera to its limits.

Sure, why not. There may be some newbies on here that haven't seen or read everything. I manage to get something out of most things I read and see here and that's what it's all about in my humble opinion.
