"i think photoshop is to what dark room is to film photography post process."
That's valid on certain level, but I've been in every kind of darkroom there is from regular b/w to alternative processes to color and trust me whileyou can do similar stuff in some areas your level of control and clearly lack of effects is completely different. I'm not going to knock Photoshop orBridge or Lightroom, they're all completely valid tools, it's all what you do with them. When I scan a film negative, I use Camera Raw in Bridge tocolor correct it, but in a darkroom I can adjust the color almost just as easy, it takes probably 10x as long to see the result but it works the same. No oneis coming out of a darkroom with an HDR.
If you want to do them that's fine. I don't care, I have better things than to do than comment, "that a trite and kitsch gimmick" everytimeone is posted. Just someone asked my opinion. And I saw it, so I answered.
