Yep, we're all control freaks. (Control of the image which I didn't directly
have before).

If you consider your free time you have to spend adjusting the
photographs, developing them, et cetera... to be of no cost, than yes.
If you can bill it to the client, than yes (but unless you are a big
studio, don't count on it). Otherwise, you now have to spend a lot
more time in front of the computer, and even more time on lists like
these learning the latest methods of using ACR/PS/whatever instead of
paying a flat fee for better quality prints. Not mentioning updating
your computer because the last one was just way too slow. Just many
people forget this, some even enjoy it (myself, occassionaly, with
just few images but not so much with a bigger shoot). I guess in the
end it might break even. Or perhaps not. The point is that there are
more hidden costs to it.
Good light!
