I've nothing against any kind of postwork either. But sometimes Vue images in the gallery are not anymore Vue images. Just images rendered in Vue. Take a Poser figure, render it in Vue and then you may think you have a Vue image. Add some ready made brushes from PSP, Photoshop... and you think you're a Vue artist. This remembers me when i was a child and did this kind of collage on paper, cutting flowers and things from newspapers.... Yes, I know, there are great collage artists out in the world, but we speak about Vue. Vue is such a great software IMHO to create fabulous landscapes and interior scenes, it doesn't need any postwork if it is well done. I may agree to do some on nude Poser figures inside a Vue image, sometimes you need to repair the bending parts. They are not perfect in Poser either. But why add brushes with flowers if you can get free flowers all over the web and create your own to use in Vue? Why transform a Vue atmosphere with heavy postwork? Of course, this can be art, but mostly it is not on what I see in the gallery. And for sure it is not a Vue picture, but a mixed medium. Sorry I'm a purist. So many things can be done in Vue with work, time and an artistic view. There is no need for a real artist to create an image in 1 hour to fill the galleries, many of us know that we need to spend lots of time to create something we like. Just my opinion. :-)Guitta
