Great program though!
To be honest, I was never too excited about processing until a good friend of mine started to critique my pics. He's used to working with several different programs, including Photoshop. He has a 20D himself. I'd post some pics I'd shot and he'd always "touch them up" a little and they looked better to me. He shoot a lot of RAW images, so he's proficient at it.

Once I got a friend of mine.....*cough*** ***cough***...to hook me up with Photoshop, I just started playing with it.

I'm still a newbie at it. I like that I can copyright the pics and that I can play with the size. I'm still a little too new to really put it thru it's paces, but I'll get there eventually. I've been working on some older pics and playing with them lately.

To be honest, I can kind of see what your guy is saying, but it's probably because I'm not good at processing myself. I'm used to shooting the pic, and it either turned out good or bad, no manipulation in between. I understand where he's coming from, but I'm starting to learn that he may be wrong though. I can also see where post-processing really can manipulate a good pic into a great pic in the right hands.
