I find using filters when needed saves time later on. Don't fit the "PS cure-all" way of thinking. What is harder for me is switching between Oly E-330 & Pentax K10D. Oly menu way easier to navigate but K10D has focus confirmation for all my manual lenses & with upgraded screen, still hit or miss with fast lenses wide open. Oly has monochrome setting which I prefer over Pentax software converting color. My next learning curve will be setting color profiles etc. to printer. But that's for the future.
