Again which makes me wonder why the "no post work" advocates seem to believe that they are being somehow unfairly represented or even "cheated"
when they are perfectly free to post their untouched renders right now in ANY gallery category and clearly announce in the description
"no post work of any kind involved"
Cheers
Wolf, I'm certainly not an NPA! I think almost every render could use a little, if not extensive, work in Gimp or Photoshop, and I've never understood those who feel that postwork is some sort of cheating. My favourite gallery members do extensive postwork (for instance, tiff666, who posts in Mixed Medium). I vastly prefer that sort of image.
The issue is that sorting through the galleries for images is a PITA. I don't want to have to use a search box to look for tags or text or whatever because I can't stand the way Rendo's searches work, and not everyone remembers or wants to write anything with their images.
It would be a whole lot more convenient not to have to search for tags and text because I could just click on a gallery and browse through it.
As for whether this would make those who regularly post in camera stuff feel better or even work better and be more inspired to improve because their images would appear sequentially with images of similar origin (Poser firefly render only, etc). That's another question. But, really, why not give it a try?
In the end, what does it cost to add an additional gallery category? I mean, I guess one could make the slippery slope argument that we would end up with a billion different categories. But then that's why this discussion ensued - to determine the merits of adding this category.
I don't think, really, that there's anything more to it than that.
