Should I bother editing pics?

You have issues of color balance, and some lighting issues (it would appear your two strobes are as strong one side as the other, which gives you a very flat and unappealing look to the model).

Either you are shooting with a warming filter, have your white balance on a digital camera set incorrectly, or you are using photoshop to "warm" it after the fact. Either way, your whites are not white (the background) and the model's skin is a very unhealthy color.

Work hard to shoot correctly, cleanly, and without issues, and you will get better net results that require much less attention after the fact.
