As probably the most useful and ubiquitous application, there is no featured gallery. I assumed that without merchandising Adobe here, there is no financial motivation.

a photoshop gallery would leave out the PSP users, so we just hav the 2d gallery, to share w/ the inferior program...

Not to mention Painter, CorelDraw, Pixia, Illustrator, and several other paint programs

There is not enough space for galleries for all 2d applications. To me it makes perfect sense to lump them all together.

lump all the 3D & render progs together as well...they all do pretty much the same thing and to the same level.... :+P

What i'd like to see is more of the forum members posting here with either a question on "how to do something" - or with the explaination on "how to do something".

What's to stop anyone from posting a Photoshop piece here in the forum and explain some of the steps or effects taken?

As long as people play well and take in consideration not everyone is at the same level of experience, i think we can really showoff just what PS is capable of doing. This would require the people responding to have compassion and understanding when replying to the post and thick skin for the person posting ;)

PS. PhotoshopWorld 2003 is coming up in few days (Feb 19-21) and i can't make it!! (still in the middle of house renov's and straped for funds...) so if anyone goes, write us and let us know!!!

see ya around

I post my PS5 work 2 the 2D Gallery. Perhaps a specific PS Gallery would b cool, but I never really thought about it until I saw this posting. Come to think of it, I don't think I will really think about it in the future either regardless of this posting.

part of me wants to say leave the galleries as is, separating them all would make us seem like poser wannabees.. than another part of me says wtf do I care, cuz I haven't checked the galleris in months... ...hmmmm, I stand on the line of indifference.

It aint gonna happen, people.

i take back my previous comment regarding my not thinking about the topic anymore because i just got a "gallery response" auotomated email(Major Domo/UNIX i think?) sent to me that reminded me of this gallery deal. But I did forget about it until i just saw that automated e-mail from Renderosity.

Although some images may fit into more than one catagory, usually they will fit best in one. In the photography gallery for examply i see (and have submitted myself) some "borderline" photos that have been tweaked in PS or some other program. I think basic bright/contrast/and some color saturation adjustment is fine, because I believe these techniques are common photolab techniqes that can be applied to any image, and they dont obscure the original photo, like adding lightning. But what about combining two original photos, and blending them together in the middle, would that be a 2D or a photography submittal?

PS; as for the original point of this thread...
Renderosity won't, in the near future, have a gallery specifically for PS. Many of the reasons are stated above. There is also the fact that, to a lot of the members here in Renderosity, PS is only for postwork and is just a tool to tweek 3D renders.

Slynky those works can be easily matched in PS by a skilled user, if not surpassed.

True Grim, quite true indeed. What makes it great is the skill to do it in a darkroom is almost a lost art. I'm just glad to see someone still at it. Besides, his articles and books make for thought-provoking "unpluged time"... :) retrocity

I've just been browsing the site: it's great stuff. I can't help but feel that because it was done in the darkroom, it makes it far better than if it was created with a computer. Am I bad or just suffering from techno-cringe?

this guy has 8 enlargers in his basement, all set up the exact same way. He rarely uses more than 4 for a print, but he doies every now and then. If you've ever seen The Outer Limits, that part in the opening credits with the house with roots growing out its bottom, was entirely based on a uelsmann photograph that was animated speciically for the show's opening credits. The guy was a madman. He used to teach at the University of Florida, though I think he's retired now. He is still printing new work incidently, hasn't stopped for almost 40 years. The guy is a master. It doesn't mean "better" grim, he's just been doing what many people though would only be possible (to achieve the effects as well as he does) if done in photoshop.... 3 decades before it was available. ficiticous smacks grim in the crotch, "Score another one for me" heh heh...

I do love a good madman. And funnily enough most elderly Proffesors seem to loose their marbles in the end......not that there's anything wrong with that...
