- Back in the good old days when photography was 100% done by film cameras, the prof. photographers did use a lot of darkroom tricks to manipulate their pics for different results. Today there is not much difference except that all the re-processing work is done on computers, and more features are available than before. If you take a look at the Windows Vista wallpaper, those pics were shot by the author in raw mode with a 8.2MP Canon 20D Digital SLR. He then used Canon’s Digital Photo Professional to process those RAW files (first darkroom processing). Finally he used Photoshop CS2 to fine-tune and do some adjustments on the images(re-processing). By the way, the author is a medical service professional, not a professional photographer. So the answer is: yes, nearly all Pros use Photoshop (or other software) to cook their photos today. You can say that photography is now becoming computer graphic art. If that's the case, so be it.

Some people say any photoshoted photos are not photography art, they are graphic art.
I dont have photoshot, but I know it is a very useful, very expensive and very good tool. Maybe just an average camera + photoshot is right way to go.
