This does seem to be the case. With the proliferation of affordable high quality equipment, every Joe thinks he or she can make a living as a 'tog. A work colleague recently got married, a few weeks later he asked me if I had any software to improve photos. I asked him what the problem was and he showed me some terribly out of focus photos from his wedding - focused on the background, not the subject. I said there wqs no software that would correct that kind of issue and he should take the matter up with the photographer. He said "about a third of the pictures are like this". He'd paid well into 4 figures for this guys services.
