I'll be a snob and say that there is something to creating an image within the bounds of a specific medium. If it's a watercolor then it's a watercolor. If it's oil then it's an oil painting. If it's a fractal then it was made with a fractal program. We have seen a lot of scenic UF images posted here lately that could surely be done better with Bryce or even a camera, but they were done with UF, and that is at least part of the point of doing such an image. That's why I like to mention what postwork I have done. As far as how much postwork is too much postwork, I don't know, nor do I care. For me the challenge is to do as much as I can in UF. If others feel that same challenge, great. If not, that's great too. For the record, (because someone keeps talking about postwork on my images) with one exception in Renderosity, my postwork consists of basic adjustments, like contrast and sharpness, and that's it! One more thing, I think frames should be made of wood. That's just my personal preference. I don't do this either, but I do think it's good to sign an image. I'm just too lazy to do it. Keith
