All your points are well-made and well-taken. If you've got a shot 
you think is perfect without doing anything in Photoshop, then of 
course you don't need to do anything.

But answer me this:  From among the 80% or 90% of pictures that you 
decide not to print, don't you think there may be some that could be 
made "perfect" by doing something to them in Photoshop?  Why throw 
them away, when you've got Photoshop to tweak them into what you 
want?  

I realize most of those pics might be unworthy even after Photoshop 
manipulation.  But I find it hard to believe that there aren't any 
pics from among the many you weed out that couldn't be "perfected" in 
Photoshop.  And if there are, it really does seem like you've got an 
illogical bias against Photoshop.  -- Herb
