Many of the forums seem to either frown on postwork, or just don't care one way or the other. I have absolutely nothing against postworking an image, but if you're going to differenciate between postwork and rendering in a different app, then that seems a bit contradictory. Postworking hair, etc. seems to be common practice, and does look great. But there's really no way to distinguish just how much actual postworking was done (unless you see both original and postwork side by side), and for all we know, the image could be 2/3 postwork. Meaning, it could be painted over so heavily, it ceases to be an original Poser render, and instead approaches a Photoshop work. I haven't yet looked at this month's challenge, and will never point fingers. I'm simply questioning the "rule" as it applies.
