Guess no solution has been arrived at yet. So many opinions. What I would like to see is for the artists to be COMPLETELY HONEST and state what post work has been done on the images they post, no matter how slight it may be. Even a small description of their technique might be nice. I wonder if some of us don't take our images into another program and maybe use 'unsharp mask' and never give a second though about it being post processed as it has become a habit and accepted. One artist very nicely states that the images posted are sharpened. I like that. I don't do much post work, mainly because I am not very good at it. I use PSP for borders and for my signature and once in a while to recolor stray pixels in the image. And sometimes I use unsharp mask and when I post, I forget all about stating this. I saw one image posted recently in the fractal gallery and for the life of me, I could not find the fractal portion of it. It had lovely post work done on it, however. Now that is the kind of image that I think should go in the 2D or mixed medium gallery. It seems that I remember some time in the past, when we could post more than one image per day, that some images were posted in two different galleries; as if the artist was aware that the image could be in either category. That doesn't happen now that we can only post one image per day. Arend makes beautiful mixed medium images that could fit into maybe 3 different galleries and be acceptable in each. But he posts them in only the fractal gallery and the fractals are clearly evident. So I can see why he posts them here. Just some more of my thoughts on the subject. Take care, Marion
