I agree, .......(I'm not sure at the moment where I'm at with the visual thing, and that is a personal opinion), and I can see where you are coming from.
But any "hack" can now just shoot, crop( standard), auto WB (standard), auto any other photo adjustment, and then apply those fandangled CS6 features to make a more fandangled picture..........without the time and effort you have made trekking out to those remote areas, setting up the (insert camera of choice), waiting for the right sunrise moment, testing and testing the shots until you get it just right.....

Sorry ....Me personally....dont agree.
If a person who knows what they are doing (as a photographer) then a 'thematic tool' would only be a bit of fun for them. They are surely professional enough to create those 'themeatics' themselves....

I must admit I am out of my depth here........., but doesn't PS already cater for that?( please H, and all pro Photographers, I am not - ummm for a better word ....I am not dissing u ....
)
I want to produce the same quality of images as the pros do, but not by pressing a button or two in CS6.
I aspire to be able to reproduce ( not exactly of course heheheehhe
) images that forum members here do by natural means........
I think I have dug myself a hole.....
