Is there something a filter gives that can't be introduced instead at
post-processing time? Is there really a need for digital
photographers to require filters at shoot-time in order to enhance
shots?

this church but I think I managed to get some pretty good shots.

One filter that cannot be reproduced with post-processing is the
polarizer, used to decrease reflections, enhance colour saturation
and darken blue skies (when the sun is in the right direction!).
Most others can. (Incidentally, I wonder whether the effects of the
80b warming filter mentioned in the earlier post may have been
counteracted by the auto WB in the camera).

Regards, Chris.

Avraham, as far as colored filters go, yes, they can be added in post production, however, when it comes to the Polarizer, nothing can duplicate it!  Another that I use while shooting is the graduated neutral density filter... invaluable for cutting down the light in one part of the image and not in another, and finally, I use a red enhancing filter in the fall for the red folliage that we get here in Michigan and it would be hard to not over do that in PS... ;the equivalent in PS is saturation... I don't want to saturate everything... only the reds! ;

You can get rid of the red filter and use a selective color adjustment
layer, or a hue/sat adjustment layer to only saturate the reds. I
used to do the same thing as you, but that filter now is collecting
dust.

Thanks Lance, I guess I never thought about using the red ;color channel!
