Call me a geek, but much as I used to love standing in a chemical infested darkroom listening to Capital Radio making prints from negatives, I do rather enjoy sitting in front of all my shiny Apple computers playing with (sorry processing) my pictures. Switching between the befores and afters is one of the most satisfying things you can do when spending hours in the dark fiddling with Photoshop.
