I will venture to say that most, here, will not be selling 24x36 prints. And few will be offering to fix others' botched photos, for money.

Some photographers get off on heavy post processing, thinking they are "improving" an image. Mostly that look offends me. Still, it is good advice to buy a camera which has RAW capability.
