    Maybe. Then again, I've spent similar amounts of time printing in
    the darkroom, trying to make the print as perfect as possible.
    Besides, I wasn't addressing digital camera photography only. My
    original post stated that photographers and editors used to airbrush
    photos to great effect. Now, digital manipulation is faster, far
    more accessible than darkroom equipment that needs special
    conditions, and uses no chemicals, only a digitized image, either
    from a camera or scanner. 

    I believe people nowadays take a lot of time "fixing" their pictures
    simply because they can. After all, they can do it now on computer,
    without smelly chemicals or a room with a light trap. The days of
    relying on the photo lab technician to get it right are over for
    most of us.
