i'm a little confused by vintorixs' statements?, are you saying that a render without postwork is not art? and how can the "hint of a hand created element" be applied to photoshop?, if a filter or airbrush can be considered a hand crafted element then surely the same applies to a primitive or light in poser or daz or any other modelling program. I can understand how the statement might apply to a painting or sketch done entirely by hand, but to attribute the same rules to CG in any form baffles me.

Is the home made model to be considered any less hand crafted than the preset in photoshop or a few strokes with an airbrush or pencil tool, and to assume that refraining from using photoshop means you have no artistic aspirations is a kick in the teeth for many poser users.
