I do that for the dance shots that i am doing for me, not what i am shoot en mass. about the only thing i do is hit f3, which does a minor level adjust, sharpen, and closes the pic. or use the batch tool. and this is even taking me months. they would never get their images if i shot raw, converted, hdr'd and all that! besides, you should get it right in camera and not have to do a lot to it. (of course for those wow shots that are special i take time out to do all that.)

You are right I did not mean no PP. We cover 105 events per year and average 4000 images per event. Storage alone precludes our using RAW format. The pace of the events is fast and the pace of knocking out prints is as well. What our customers conseiders a "wow" shot does not require 5 layers, blending and hours of processing time. I don't see that dance recital mom is looking for a $300 print, she wants a pretty picture of her little girl and would probably be happy with the quality that 15% of that would buy.
