I Prefer the natural look that the camera puts out with my images, Most of the bright nebula turn out just fine and don't need to much touching up, but some nebula such as the tarantula come out completely blue, at least the times that I have tried it.
I also have spent countless hours trying to figuring out how to do things in photoshop when I get bored, but it's not easy to pull out red when the data captured is blue, thats just the light the camera has collected. This is compounded with the fact that most of the people with unmodded cameras are just starting out and aren't sure how to process images to there full limit. Only by posting their Images and getting positive feed back and helpful info can they learn this art.
I don't mind seeing a posted picture with incorrect colour, because I think to myself, " hey, thats what mine looks like, It's not me then". This helps me pluck up courage to post my images.
With adjusting curves in photoshop, it's not that simple to just boost up the red, this introduces more noise to the image I have found and to takes a long time to get them all balanced out. BUt I haven't found the sweet spot yet, I'm sure there is one though.
