Do people chose a zingy colour film because it's a dull drab day? Of 
course they do (very few colour films these days have a neutral 
balance) - pile on that Velvia boys; or use a polarizer, or a grad 
filter, or a haze filter; or pick a telephoto to isolate the view, 
compress the background, or a real wide angle to give a nice unreal 
view, or print on harder grade or warmer paper? Or get a nice zingy 
(but unreal) print on Ilfochrome? Cropped out that darn lampost or 
piece of hair on the film gate? Or shoot in B&W to get rid of all that 
annoying colour - lots of way to change the hue, saturation or contrast 
in our photos (which we regularly do without thinking about)? You don't 
need those Photoshop sliders for any of it. Take any edition of Outdoor 
Photographer or such - I doubt you'll find many pictures that 
are "realistic" (even without digital work).

Using photoshop just isn't really any issue
