Absolutely, the final product is what counts, BUT;
Ansel's work in the wet room, would be as though if he was still alive and working with digital process, is photoshop, manipulating an image after the fact. Today, it is vitally important that we capture a scene, subject etc. with precision, or, to the best possible so that less processing goes into the image. I do spot an image, that is, rid of distracting spots etc, I do some edge burning at times, I do clone here an there, when done so, it's not a "Realist" image, it's "ART"
I find that if I keep the D200 at Neutral for outdoor work, the colors are flat when viewing in the bridge or photoshop.
Therefore, I have found by setting to "Vivid" I do get what I see, SO LONG as I have my WHITE BALANCE correct.
BTW it's not 18% grey, but I won't get into that now, though, it is 12% gray.
