then why argue with him? let it go

Thanks for the recommendation. i'm digesting a couple of books about light and post processing (photoshop, lightroom and etc.)

then another question to pique your brain. how important is post processing in creating a beautiful image?

quite agree

Can you handle the truth?

My answer is: IT'S IMPORTANT.

faints~

it does helps to improve the impact of a photo....

is it important? depend on your original photo need fixing or not, need boosting or not. most new DLSR today has feature to boost contrast and saturation, some with build in HDR mode etc... some straight out jpeg can be stunning nice too~

most professional photo, geo nat, fashion, sport(commercially), artist all went through strict post processing. one of my friend in my town does PP for Fashion/Portrait Photographers... each edited photo are charged at USD40-50. (which is cheap in the market) he got a lot customer from australia and europe... sorry i went a little off topic.

i must admit, it does help, and it considered creating lies....

there are two type of postprocessing.
i) Darkroom processing (for negative) and Lightroom processong (For positive) are the same thing just diff sources. they allows your to adjust behavior within the film(negative) digital raw(positive) limit.

so Adobe Lightroom or Raw editor programs are consider acceptable post-processing for those strict no editing contest entries. stuff like, exposure, contrast, saturation, vignetting, lens barrel/pincushion correction, CA correction, curve, black and white, hue, clarity(this function is still in debate)

ii) manipulating Post processing, aka Photoshopped. is where you remove stuff from photo, or add stuff to photo. eg, adding flocks of birds into the river... is totally illegal in contest entries (unless it states accepts photoshop or no editing limit).....

so, which category of post processing you refering? myself also dizzy liao since u ask such deep question...

Haha, tat is funny.
1st, I not interest wat gear u using, n I not even know wat gear u using?
2nd, how come u can printscreen tat statement? But I never said such thing? Got ppl hack into my acc?

Btw, is not important, just feel strange, how come such thing posted by my acc but not I saying?
I not even know u n new to Sony section, how I gonna know u using a3000? I not even know wat model is tat. I only know nex series n A7 series. Haha, strange.

Or u just simply change my statement when u doing the quotation?
"Like wat I showing above, u can simply edit ppl statements"

Haha. U r smart man. Change my words to raise supporters.

Haha. Anyway, I going to leave it since I not active in Sony section also. Just come see see for tis two days since I bought 10-18mm. Btw, becareful of this new member. U can argue with others but dun do things so tricky. Just a forum, no need act tricky man. Haih, really shock me got so tricky ppl.
If I got attack A3000 user, so many ppl sure will notice, but not few hours after only ppl realise. Haha.

To be honest, for all the differences the bodies offered, I cared about lenses more.

Someone mentioned post process? I tried some in different applications, all shot with NEX-6:

some photo taken with Nikon 4500 for comparison.. it cost more than what I have paid for the A6000 today!! It was my transition camera from Film to Digital.. and having to cope with auto focus.
