Only 3 and 4 have anything to actually do with the quality of one’s image and 4 is so ridiculously far off the mark it’s laughable. This made the rounds on genuine photography sites awhile back, it wasn’t particularly well received there either.

Getting a good image or a good enough image in camera is important, but anyone who thinks an image fresh out of the camera is really “done” doesn’t really know anything about photography. even the top photographers edit their photos enormously, just as photographers have always done. A raw file is a negative, and it needs to be developed. You don’t do that just by wishing really hard.

So really only the third one actually speaks to image quality and well.. if the guy is so far off the mark with the rest, would you really trust anything they had to say at that point?
