Quote - > Quote - I don't think anyone said you couldn't do postwork. Just that it is a bit dishonest to
put a picture in the Poser gallery that has been postworked when there is a
mixed medium gallery which is intended for postworked renders.
So no, we don't need a new gallery for the gods of poser, that gallery already
exists. The mixed medium gallery.If that was the criteria, then good 80-90% of images would have to go to mixed medium category. I think that would suck big time.
To me 'poser' gallery doesn't mean it has to be 100% poser. It would mean more like 'mostly poser'. I always assume that there are other components to images unless someone specifies 'no postwork whatsoever'Much like any other technique, postwork is another tool, learn to use it to your advantage, and learn when and how to use it.... rather then knocking it down.
I've seen many poser images that would look a lot more visually pleasing with a little bit of postwork.
I guess my point was when I go to a website that has a Poser gallery, I want to see
what Poser is capable of doing. If I wanted to see what someone was capable of
doing with Photoshop, I'd go to a Photoshop gallery.
I guess it's sort of like a favorite baseball player breaking the home run record,
and then it's found out he was using steroids. Postwork is sort of like steroids for Poser.
Yes, the picture may look prettier with postwork, but that doesn't show me what Poser
can do.
