wolf359, nobody has ever said they were being cheated or under represented,,just purely that it is not possible to judge a Poser manipulators (I use that word in deference to the purists who will claim there is no art unless you postwork) effort in comparison to one that has been extensively postworked so therefore an non postworked gallery section would be one solution, all that has been mentioned is that it is not obviously an even playing field unless postworked renders bear an equally impressive "lots of postwork in so many different programs that the image bears little or no resemblence to the one that originated in Poser" tag which to be honest I very rarely see..........I think you really misunderstand the point of the thread, nobody is demanding, nobody is crying, nobody is upset over the lack of such a genre, the original question was "would it be an idea, what do you think",

as to the Draconian no postwork rule you mention, this would only apply to a gallery subsection genre of non postworked images voluntarily subscribed to, so I do find that quite a scaremongering ill informed comment to make, as if somehow suggesting that it would apply to all Poser galleries.....meh.....

you have your views and I respect your right to hold them, as Voltaire I believe said  "I may not believe in what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it"

it does however seem to have devolved into a debate about what is the definition of postwork, in camera, compositing etc etc, which was only to be expected.........Again, I find it hard to understand why not? However in due deference to forum etiquette, I shall refrain from further comment and let the community decide........
