Yay for Marion. That's a bit harsh, but shouldn't we all be trying to master our generators, instead of leaning on postwork to cover our short comings? How many people approach the creation process with that much intent, or instead stop midway because they know of X amount of postwork tricks that will yield a good image? We all want to help each other, but how do you help someone that cannot afford photoshop or paint shop pro when that's what you lean on to create your artwork? When you started learning fractals, did you want to learn from the people that have mastered the software, or the ones that just get by and use postwork to make their images? That's another thought that people overlook here, and that's why I'm adament on no postworking of my artwork (frames/fonts only, for print reasons).
