Camera RAW is the real answer. Don't use the "stock" import, adjust it to fit your tastes.

Back in the olden days of photography when film was the only way, I was a professional photographer. I would work with some of our customers and using a Sinar-P 4x5 and 90 MM lens we could see most of a room. The tilt and shift would eliminated the distortions and we might spend 4 hours on one shot. We shot at night to avoid daylight, and spent hours replacing bulbs, filtering some areas with sheets of tinted Mylar. In the end, we had a series 4x5 transparencys that were accepted into Architectural Digest. It was a full night of work.

Now with digital, walk up click, go home and do it all in Photoshop and get a better result. It is just amazing. With the full dynamic range beyond what film could do, and the ability to tweak everything. Photography is mostly done with a good computer and a fancy monitor now.

Most important have fun. Find some tutorials on how to use Photoshop, the full version not the cheap version. The filters are now all applied after the fact.
