MungoPark,
Have you ever looked in the Mixed Media gallery? It is mostly the home of some excellent artists that do photography/traditional/digital work combos. There are those that do combinations of 2D and 3D, but their program range is usually quite larger than "postwork in photoshop." I post in Mixed Media quite a bit, but only for the ones that really do not have an overwhelming percentage of usage by any particular program.

Putting 90% of the poser images in Mixed Media, and from the other genres is going to leave little in their original galleries and flood the poor MM gallery, shoving out the people that are already there. While I'm sure this will certainly help the 10% who do no-postwork, it's very impractical. I can just imagine the upheaval that would come if Rosity suddently decided that images are no longer welcome in Poser from some of Poser's most elite artists because they do postwork?

The way I've always understood it, the gallery separations are more guidelines than hard and fast rules. They keep the galleries fairly organized, but still allow for some play, which in my eyes is the perfect system. It allows choice for the artists, does not overburden the moderators with having to move images that may be postworked a bit, and allows people to stay where they are known and often experts in the software, postwork or not.

I think the best solution would be either to put "No Postwork" in the image notes as was suggested, or to put a flag (like nudity/violence) for no postwork. If you create a genre, than you rob the artist of the chance to put his image in it's proper conceptual genre (for instance, if one puts Non-Postwork, they can't put Romance). A new gallery would not be anywhere near as popular and would wind up being a disappointment to those that post there, until they were back posting in Poser anyway. Not only that, but if you give Poser a pure gallery, you have to do so with every other gallery.
