It'a all about instant gratification - and ease. The various setings on my camera make it easy to just play at the moment and to see the results right away. (The screen on my camera is pretty large considering the size of the thing.) This also gets me using more settings on my camera and learning more about it as I play.
To use the photoshop method requires:
- Going home (1/2 hour)
- Downloading photos (10 minutes)
- Choosing one (a milion years)
- Opening photoshop (3 minutes)
- spending the time in photoshop required to created desired effect (eons for me)
I'd never do it - or at least never do it regularly and certainly not with more than one picture. My attention span is not that great.
Plus, I enjoy being out capturing the moment quite a bit more than I enjoy sitting at my computer.
