I guess there is a difference between adjusting white balance and some Snapchat filter people apply to pics of their breakfast that completely changes the image.

Some post-processing is always (or almost always) required. Yet, when I look at some pics out there, they are just not realistic because of all the filters people apply.

Where do you draw the line when processing your pictures? What do you consider necessary?

I prefer to make as many adjustments as possible in the camera before I take the shot, like H,S,WB and more.
Its still a form of editing but it means less time in front of a monitor later. A mirrorless camera makes this possible. Although there are times (especially if I mess up my shot) that I must use the RAW file instead of the Jpeg.

Do you remember "some times I feel like a nut, other times I don't"? Not saying anything about you or anyone else but women aren't the only one who have "Mood Swings". Cheers.

Every successful photographer is driven by an inner voice telling them everyone else is using PhotoShop.

I switched from a DSLR to Mirrorless in 2018. I wish it was available in 2003 when I switched to Digital.

I still have my Sony H-1 from January 2006.
My first, a Sony Mavica, from 1997 maybe, I gave away.
Still have my T1i from 2010, I don't need a mirrorless.

Some things are hard to part with. I still have my Canon AE-1 from 1981.
It was my first.

YUP. My AE-1 and Ftb are in the curio cabinet, along with a Yashica MAT-124.

The H-1 focuses down to 2cm. I won't get rid of that little bugger.

Hue and Saturation. The third component of that color model is Lightness.

Most post-processing software can work in an RGB model or an HSL model.
