I would agree with a natural look that is true to life. That the problem I have with many "photographers". Anybody can snap a picture, crop it, throw some filters at it, selective coloring, vignetting, the list goes on. But this does not make someone a photographer.
Its all about getting it right out of the camera. And digital has taken that away from photography. You dont have to get it right. You just have to be in the realm of somewhere even close. After that, its all about what you can master on the computer.
Here is what I use PS for.
1. Correcting tilt on horizons.
2. Slight crops
3. B&W Conversions
4. Special Effects (Anthonys pictures here, transparent hood)
5. Watermarking
