In my very limited experience with using filters in front of the lens  
with digital raw files - their use does intensify any all further  
manipulation in software. If you know exactly what you wish to  
accomplish with the filter/software combination then it makes a bit  
of sense to set off in that direction. However, you'll also make  
returning to "normal" a bit more difficult.
