I've come across this before. It's got some truly excellent tips and tricks, but it's a bit heavy on the post-processing for my tastes. The pics wind up looking a bit fake, a bit too hard-hitting to be real.

It's useful if you have to create good pictures from bad ones, but I prefer to just try really hard to set up a good picture while I'm taking it than doctor it in post-processing.

That i definitely agree on. Though it does still explain all the post-processing too.

It's a very good guide, and I suppose it's a taste thing.

Personally, I only bump up the contrast a bit. There's a point where it just starts to look unnatural, and I stop before then.

I agree with you. I can't photoshop at all. I don't really want to either. The picture at the top I took with my camera set to monochrome, and that's about all I do. I did enjoy the car shoots tips and the race shoot tips.
