While waiting (interminably, lol) for my coment to post, another thought came to me. I was looking again at the title of your post, "The Case for NOT Postworking Images", and I wonder...what is it about? By that, I mean, is it about the software? Is it about the programming and interface? Is it about the company that made the software? Or is it about the image and/or the art? For me, it's about the image (don't know if you can call my images art, lol!). Not about the software package I happen to be using. I think this holds true for the Poser gallery (image content of NVIATWAS notwithstanding) as well. An analogy...take a big piece of marble. It's probably a bit rough. Carve it into a big statue of David. Use chisels, mallets, pics, rasps, saws. Then start smoothing it and polishing it with grit and emery. I bet it looks really different after it's smoothed and polished. Is the smoothing and polishing postwork? I think it is, and it is the resulting sculpture/artwork that gives people pleasure to look at. Maybe not the best analogy, but I've got sculpture on the mind right now. Anyway, I guess my summary is...to me, it's about the art, not the tools.
