...and these are EXACTLY the POINTS I'm trying to make!

...when you SAY THINGS like "imitate great masters like Monet, Pollock, Seurat " and SHOW heavily POSTWORKED art by people who CLEARLY are very experienced Poser users- it conveys a much more DECEPTIVE MESSAGE...to a NAIVE CONSUMER!

LIKE I HAVE BEEN SAYING ...and as has been SAID ABOVE... Poser Figure Artist is AIMED at an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AUDIENCE...so THIS is why a DIFFERENT STANDARD of marketing is very important! These are TOTAL NEWBIE, FIRST TIME buyers...How are they supposed to KNOW what IS and ISN'T Postworked????

That's why I bring the Federal Trade Commission into this:

GENERAL ADVERTISING POLICIES

What truth-in-advertising rules apply to advertisers?
Under the Federal Trade Commission Act:

• advertising must be truthful and non-deceptive;

How does the FTC determine if an ad is deceptive?
A typical inquiry follows these steps:

• The FTC looks at the ad from the point of view of the "reasonable consumer" - the typical person looking at the ad. Rather than focusing on certain words, the FTC looks at the ad in context - words, phrases, and pictures -to determine what it conveys to consumers.

NOTE THE PHRASE "Reasonable Consumer"..the "typical Person looking at the ad"

Fine Art NEWBIES who "don't like using their computers very much" (According to the e-frontier video).. are the INTENDED AUDIENCE... NOT Poser POWER USERS who know all about SHADERS, POST-WORKING, etc...

It's a very DIFFERENT IMPRESSION made on basically very NAIVE Software Users... to ME
it's like putting Candy Flavors into CIGARETTES... we ALL KNOW who this is AIMED AT!! ...
(The answer: KIDS)... or in the PFA Case... VERY NAIVE and NON-TECHNICAL Fine Artists...
