Hmmm- I don't know about this 'pure Photoshop space' idea. What do you mean by Photoshop images being buried in 2D ? Is that based on hit numbers ? I tend to assume that people look at images because the thumbnail grabs them in some way not because the artist used this or that software. I use Photoshop more than I use Painter or Poser ( oh no ! I said the P**** word- just lost at least 80 % of people who have read even this far ) . Though I usually post in That gallery and occaisonally mixed medium and infrequently some of the other galleries I actually consider Photoshop my Primary Software- it is for me the one software I would not / could not be without. It is the part of my images that I enjoy doing the most and what I spend most time on. I use the same combinations of software for images I actually get paid for as well as my 'recreational' images I post here at R'osity. But I don't actually see the point of a PS only gallery -how many people do actually PURELY use PS ? How rigourously enforced would the 'pure' aspect be? There is a whiff of elitism here to me , especially as from what I've read in the PS forum over time, the pure aspect is sure to be rigourously enforced by a dedicated few who are less than impressed by other software. I always look in the ALL gallery because personally I think focusing in on software more than the images produced is a rather blinkered approach. But then what do I know .... I use P**** so couldn't be considered an artist anyway !
