To edit or not to edit? /To be or.../

I have Nikon d70 and d50. Almost every picture which I took I am editing with Photoshop. Sometimes I can improve my picture very fast sometimes not. My question is 'Is it possible to have perfect picture from camera without editing?"

It is possible but why and what are you editing if it is a crop well that was done in the film days to. Make sure you are getting good exposure and composition and the editing will decrease

Thank you for your reply. I am not talking about cropping my main concern are sharpness, contrast and colors.It is possible but why and what are you editing if it is a crop well that was done in the film days to. Make sure you are getting good exposure and composition and the editing will decrease

Really depends on the type of picture and the viewer. One person may love the pictures "as is" another may find an area or two which could be improved. In other words it's very subjective.
I recently took a lot of pictures at parade during our Mardi Gras. I did not find that I needed to do a lot of edited. If any. Street photography is a good expample of the type of pictures you can take with out editing them.(much) for expample:
If the conditions are right and the camera setting are correct then you can have a picture you do not need to edit. Unless you want it a certain size, then you may have to crop, or at least give a ratio of the size you want. Otherwise you most likely will end up with a giangatic picture.

A pro once told me that it's rare that you should use M mode. You really must know what your doing if your in M mode. It's more common to use Av or aperture priority, when your taking pictures. At least in the beginning.
Hopefully some of the real pro's who know what they are talking about will pick up on this thread and give you more information.
good luck and happy pic'n

If you are using RAW you will need to do some post processing to all your pictures. If you use jpg format you can set you camera to some limit enhancements to them. Yes, capturing a very image definitely helps reducing the PP time which means good lighting, good composition, and camera settings. Arnold

If it was, companies like Adobe would not exist. First off, you should only shoot in RAW, so right there, you have to convert and sharpen at a minimum. The human eye has a lot larger dynamic range than and camera, so to get the image to look like what you saw, you need to do selective processing. Even the greatest photographers, whether film or digital, never printed what came out of the camera. Their true abilities showed up in the darkroom.

Now then, let us define the word "perfect".
