And I sell (some of) my images and can count on one hand the times I have spent more than 15 minutes manipulating them. I can't see where you get this idea that many photographers using photoshop spend hours with their images.
It's about having the flexibility to 'tweak' if and when needed and having Photoshop as my PP software means not looking around for more than one package to do the different jobs. It may well be 'overkill', but I figure if I'm serious about my photography, then it does not make sense to scrimp on software and certainly when one package will do everything I need.
However I've already stated I try to get it right at the 'taking' stage - as I just don't have the time to spend 'manipulating' all my images.
