There are two schools of thought among digital shooters: Capture the shot IN CAMERA or go home and manipulate them on the computer. Which are you?

Well, I manipulate on my computer.  I use picasa.  Something basic for me. Took a class at a local college when I my canon rebel, most of what was taught was how to transfer pictures from camera to computer.  I (and a few others) was a bit bummed out on that, since we knew how, but wanted to learn our cameras and how to take better pictures.  So after 5 years, I still don't know much about my camera settings 🙁

I'm a CG junkie. It is always best to "get it right the first time", but if I can't, which I don't, then run it thru software.  Sometimes I get lucky and the SOOC is really good.

Also, it does depend on the file type your saving in camera.  Jpeg is developed in camera and other then the purple/green fringes that most cameras have (some more then others) you can go with straight out of the camera.  RAW files must be developed. 

I shoot with an Oly E330 using 35mm SLR lenses. So, I shoot everything in manual mode and save as RAW, then thru software for development and sharpening.
