Attached Link: Example of postwork

> Quote - *I think the new word of the day should be "retouching" for those that correct problems with renders .... its what the pros do to make a visually appealing image.*I always thought that retouching and postwork are for the most part synonymous, or at least very much related terms.  Postwork being of a more modern and colloquial origin, I think from animation and cinematography, smushed with photographic term of post-processing? > > Either way, aren't we talking about the same thing, whether we say postwork, post-processing or retouching? :blink:

 

No, because sometimes postworking involves compositing, and sometimes it involves even more work, whether via digital painting, or filters, or whatever.

For example, if one didn't know any better, could one tell that the linked to figure is basically a poser render?
