If the galleries were rearranged by theme and not by product/software, it would be much more fair to exhibiters and viewers and, even, gasp, folks vying for AOM. Should it matter if your landscape was composed in a particular program... or just that you can make wonderful landscapes with your tool of choice? Should it matter if your abstract was made with PhotoShop's filters or a fractal generator... or just that you can weave magic out of processes? Should it matter if your portrait was painted, photographed, or rendered... or simply that you have an eye for showing the essence of personality in image after image? Let's take the Photography Forum as an example. There are people who do a bit of everything, but also people who specialize in insects, or flowers, or machines, or pinups... all of which require different skills! Why judge someone doing portraits against someone else doing macro or astronomical photography, when it is actually much more reasonable to judge that body of work against other people doing portraits... in whatever media. When we upload an image, we designate a category as well as an application. Why don't we use those already existing categories instead? Or is that too reasonable? Carolly
