Photoshop: Its like cheating

I don't consider myself a photoshop wizard. I can fix up some photos and I can do some cutting and pasting, but sometimes I think its just so easy that it should be illegal.

Take these two photos for example. The same shot taken with my DCS 5220 Digital SLR. One is straight out of the camera. The other has had significant post processing. I basically used Fred Miranda's excellent photoshop actions to balance and warm up the colors, increase dynamic range and contrast, remove artifacts and sharpen the image. www.fredmiranda.com
