If you do a search on this forum using "postwork", you'll find this discussion in many permutations. I do some postwork on some of my images, mainly because I often import Poser figures into them, and I find the Poser figures usually need some "help" to smooth out bends, textures, etc. I will also sometimes adjust color levels or something similar, if I can't get the effect I"m looking for. I will also smooth or clone out texture weirdness, or angular places on rocks (for example).I've occasionally tried my hand at painting in some grass and stuff, but don't do a lot with that since I basically stink at it! So I am not a "straight out of the renderer" purist; for me, it's the image I'm going for, how I want it to look, the effect I want to achieve. I do understand the desire to get "the perfect image" right out of Vue (or whatever soft you're using)...but I seldom am happy with one or more elements in a render, and since I am not against postwork, I will dabble with it. I do wonder about some images where a large majority of the work is postwork, why they're in a particular gallery, but shrugs it's up to the artist where they feel they want to post the image. Doesn't bug me! And I agree with Walther, that I'm not being paid by E-on to advertise their product, so don't have any stake in worrying about whether or not I postwork my image and put it in the Vue gallery.
