Apple_UK.  Above are before and after images of Basile.  Left image is non-GC, right image is GC.  Bagginsbill's VSS skin shader was not used.  I simply turned on the GC option in the render settings.

I hope you can see on your monitor that the GC image has more clarity and the yellow bloom is gone.  Let me know if the GC image looks washed out on your monitor.  I will adjust the lights for you.

Please note that above images are simply test renders at very low resolution.  They certainly do not represent the true beauty of Basile's textures when rendered in high res by a talented artist such as Atlantistyle (my apologies to AtlantiStyle for posting these crude images of his masterpiece). 
 

I agree that the yellow bloom is gone, but so it the contrast and the detail, all gone because of the use of CG. The yellow bloom is annoying..... but so is the lack of contrast and detail.

I really don't care if BB or anyone else is getting a fit or not, I simply don't use CG on each image anymore. I'm sick of looking at images that lack any detail and contrast. If I've got problems with too dark areas or blooms, I'll adjust light settings and use Tone Mapping in P8, instead of using CG and settling for images that may be brighter but lack all the rest.

I'm not a pro...... since CG is a pro features I don't seem to be needing it, according to SM.

As for the threads with images BB has pointed out, of course the images show benefit from CG. Imo, most of them are lighted so badly, that any postwork done on them will make tons of difference. Those images do not support the case at all, the only thing they may show is that badly done images may benefit from CG. If you use Cg on a well done image, you will get very different results, which will show that using CG on every image may not be such an idea. I use CG, but not just bluntly on everything.
