Most digital photography professionals recognize, all images require a certain degree of processing irrespective of the quality involved.Unfortunately, qualitative image processing can take up a lot of time.
It is often the case that comprehensive image processing leads to a significant amount of work. A number of methods have been devised in an attempt to save time, such as automatic correction or applying individual correction to a series of photos. Image processing without technical knowledge is certain to result in wasted hours and long sleepless nights behind a computer. All of these methods (especially the latter) have obvious drawbacks.
It is a sorry situation that only a small percentage of photos/images have passed through any recognized photo editing at all. And even when editing does take place, many brands of seemingly well-equipped editing software have been poorly designed for the majority of digital photos.
