I'm not quite sure what Bill was trying to say. I agree, I think.
However, Photoshop and other image editors are often used with the exact
same goals as wet darkroom techniques. Junk is junk of course, but I'm
not sure he meant to imply that post-capture processing is to be avoided.
I rather tend to to think it is to be embraced as a means to getting the
most out of the good exposures that were made.
I have found over the years that my better pictures tend to be ones that
haven't tormented me, though some of my best pictures have tormented me
greatly.
And, if you find you are continually cropping to excess, you need to look
seriously at adjusting your shooting habits.
I realize that Tim is pretty much shooting at the limit of both his
equipment and his willingness; I am generalizing somewhat.
