Editing your digital photographs: Do you Photoshop a majority of your photographs? (Canon, process)

[titaniummd]

I only have a 9+ MP digital camera, Panasonic TZ-5. For the majority of times, the exposure is right on and brightness is appropriate. I don't have to adjust levels, brightness, or color correction often.

My older digital camera required a lot more editing, Canon Digital Elph 4.1 MP. I am looking through my library of images and frequently have to make more adjustments.

Are higher resolution cameras less susceptible to metering issues?

No, higher resolution cameras have nothing to do with "better metering" or "more accurate metering." They might be equipped with different metering modes, such as spot metering, to better handle certain types of metering situations, but it's the photographer who needs to command what kind of metering to be employed.

I shoot everything in RAW and RAW only, so I process each and every image of mine using a Photoshop.

There needs to be an option for "All". Like SYS I shoot in RAW and process every image.

I don't have photoshop, but only on ocassion will I have to do any editing other than sizing pictures down for use on the internet.

I agree. Everything I shoot is in RAW format. Then editing is all done in Photoshop CS3. Also got myself a nifty Wacom Intuos3 tablet.

just attended an event called Photo Camp Houston this weekend and have permanently switched from doing my RAW editing in PS to Lightroom 2.0. I LOVE it. Highly recommended.

Usually the only editing I do is resizing.

But I use Paint.net.

coral is good but photo bucket is so much easier.

I Photoshop any image I'm going to print or distribute. When I made prints in the darkroom I did the same -- crop, dodge, burn, etc.

I always PhotoShop my pix. I edit brightness, intensity, sometimes hue and occasionally I sharpen details, depending on the subject matter. Cropping is a must, as well as resizing and lightening the file size for display on the web. For magazine ads I save at a much higher resolution for extra clarity.
