Please name them I would love to know who they are, so I know who I am laughing at.

Have you ever even scanned a slide? Have even shot on chrome? Do you even know a single photographer who was around before digital cameras?

You're talking out your ass again. Even before Photoshop (which was a long ass time ago) photographers color corrected, airbrushed, retouched their chromes/negatives, Unsharp Masked, their photos before the final print.

Have you ever even been inside a Post Production shop? Where you look at your proofsheets or snips, with a loop and use a fucking Oil pencil to mark your images to be pushed, pulled, color corrected, etc??? Do you even know what a Snip is? Front snip, Tail snip?

I have never met a single professional photographer who does not adjust their photos one way or the other after they are shot. They use photoshop to fix makeup, fly away hairs, skin tone, color correction, eyes, teeth, highlights, shadows, and more. This is the difference between a photographer who sells his 10 photos for $15k, and a content shooter for a website.
