Ok whenever I take a picture that I like and I look at it on my camera screen, If it's not perfect and could use a tweaking, I think too myself 'I'll edit it in photoshop'.
Is this wrong and am I relying on it too much?

Aslong as you are happy with the picture at the end why worry?
Whatever it takes to produce the image you are happy with. You should look to improve whichever set of skills necessary to produce better images. Usually it's both behind the camera and in front of the computer. More of one and less of the other for some and vice-versa.
I'm surprised you've won so many ribbons if that's your philosophy! ;-)
Wishful typing.
The only time I've ever photographed boobies was when the wife saw me walking home with my camera after a walk to the lake shore to photograph birds. She was in our second floor bedroom window. She saw me on the sidewalk, I saw her in the window, she flashed me, I photographed her.
It's in my private collection, for lonely times. ;-)

I remember that. I lived across the street. Snapped a few myself. :P

I sight to be seen! ;-P
Apparently if they can easily be seen from across the street! Ha! (Or was that where the photoshoping came in, muahahaha!) :P
Sort of depends on what you want I guess. If, like most here seem to think, that the end result is all that matters then have at it. I've never thought that way. To me getting there is all that matters. If you do everything correct up until you look at the back of the camera a good picture takes care of itself from that point on.
Get it as good as you can in the camera. Use PS to make a great picture amazing, not a mediocre picture a step above.
Most film photographers would say (I'm old and have worked in darkrooms a ton) that their images were pretty damn good out of cam. All tonalities represented, correct sun, correct exposure, etc. They used the darkroom to enhance already good and technically sound shots. They would never, ever waste darkroom time on a mediocre image.
I don't know what the definition of too much would be, but I can say with the advent of digital photography, I now do my own work as far as editing goes and that completely puts the end result in my hands.
I have a screwball mind's eye that sees differently than my camera, so in order for me to realize my vision of an image, I pretty much entirely rely on having photoshop to achieve that end.

Did the old photographers relied too much at cropping, straightening dodging and burning? Or perhaps at cross processes?
Art is owned by the creator thereof, not the one looking at it. The creator of art is only responsible to himself/herself unless they are prepared to sell their souls for the pleasing of others.
