Quote - Before i forget what i was about to say...EXIF data can quite easily be removed before uploading whereby it cannot be recovered by anyone...

Thus why I said "IF PRESERVED" the EXIF can show the full extent to what has been done to a specific photo.  

Quote - It's also worthy to note that if an image is moved to ANY gallery and the artist feels strongly enough in opposition, we will listen carefully to their objection and if we are shown to be wrong, we will galdly correct our error. :-)

 

This is why I brought up EXIF. I understand fully mistakes can be made. However, there are many different mediums in photography than just pressing down the shutter(pinhole,various sfx lenses etc...). It can make a photo appear painted, distored etc... I'm just hoping everyone who is juding the potentially misplaced photos knows this.Some may, or may not be familiar with it(general), and not sure how something was done.

 

Again, since people seem to think I'm agaisnt this(judging by the tone of some people).I'm for re-estabilishing the rules of Renderosity, and this(which I ALREADY said in my first post!). It's that there's a lot to think about, and look at when judging the work of someone else.
