Human beings were invented by water as a means of moving itself from one place to another.

Yes it matters! I only shoot RAW which means all my images without editing are flat and boring on the other hand if you shoot JPEG then the camera has applied editing based on some Japanese programmer's idea of "best average". He, on your behalf, will have applied adjusted contrast, white balance, clarity, shadow enhancement etc etc. I on the other hand prefer to make my own decisions. It's not cheating, it's just arriving where I want to get to not where the programmer wants to take me. The difference between taking a taxi or bus
For me it stops being photography when the image no longer looks like the moment of capture. At that point it's become a different art form. Everyone needs to decide for themselves where to draw the line.

In other languages* you 'make' a photo rather than 'take' a photo.
Well, in French anyway. I'm not that multi-lingual.
Yes indeed, my hero Ansell Adams spent longer in the darkroom than on the trail) and that is why I took a laptop with Lightroom on my travels so that I could get the photo as close to what I saw (or perceived) as soon as possible while the image as I (not the camera's and the software engineer's) perceived it was still fresh in my mind. Quite apart from the learning curve of being able sometimes to remember where I pointed the strobes.
Evolution is great at solving problems. It's the methods that concern me.
