How much SKILL time does it take to do BASIC RAW processing in Photoshop ? If one does NOTHING but pick up one of Scott Kelby's Photoshop books and just do the 7 or 8 steps under the BASIC tab you are doing 9/10 of what you need besides fancy presets... White Bal, Exposure, white and black points, highlights, shadows, contrast, brightness, etc.... Come on people, its not rocket science !
