What is so inflammatory about my simple statement? I told you how I came to use post-processing and suggested you give it some time - the learning curve isn't always easy. What I said is based on my own experience and certainly not intended to force you to do other than what you are currently doing.

Your first 10,000 images are your worst. That's when you're ready to shoot in RAW.

I guess I can claim a certain kind of talent.
Some of my worst images were shot in raw.

The true secret to getting ahead in photography is to worry about the dynamic range and bit-depth.

I get a kick out of how many time I hear/see that if you shoot JPG everything is baked in. So I guess any post processing you do to a JPG file is just icing on the cake. The icing today is much better than it was just a few years ago.
My guess is that many of the folks who abandoned JPG a number of years ago might be very surprised if they tried it today.
Looking at the photos that a few of the RAW advocates posted, they might be better off letting the camera make most of the decisions for them, and just deal with the icing. The results are more important than using the process that the cool guys/gals use.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
