PS lets you Add in some for an artsy effect.
You are correct that it can rob some contrast in an image . Degrading the look otherwise. YES you need to use a lens Hood.
However some company's lenes don't make theirs long enough.
In that case use your hand to block out the rays from reaching into your front lens element. Or bring along an black umbrella or flat black cardboard gobo.
Also a good choice to add back that contrast- would be to use a polorizer with a hood on it's front.
