Boy that's a tough one...kind of like saying what's the best chocolate dessert. Ok, that's not a good analogy I guess I'm just craving sweets. I'm a digital illustrator. Used to be a newspaper photographer and we used to have a similar arguement. "If there's a coke can in the foreground of an image which messes it up...do you photoshop it out?" What it came down to in newspapers was that in a news situation where people count on the truth of reality you don't alter the image. For an illustration, stated as such, on a style cover or food section photoshopping is fair game. In the media, the end product was driven by the client...those paying for the papers. When it comes to the purity of Poser...it also depends on the client. If the desire is to make your Poser art the best of anyone around and present it as such then postwork may not be for you and that's ok. For my situation, when I do illustrations its all about the content and concept of the illustration. All I care about is end result and I'll use whatever it takes to make the best image I can. Unlike some with noses in the air I think Poser is a fantastic tool. I can't spend a month molding a character and such. My work flow is a couple of days to a week. Postwork??? Aye captain! -jay
