Certain little things in Poser will glitch on us, such as an elbow poking through the sleeve, etc. This can't be helped, it's just a quirk of the program. In this case, postwork is necessary to cover up the flaw that Poser caused. My take is that an image is what the artist makes it. If post work is part of it, then it's OK with me. Some things can't be achieved in either Poser or Bryce and have to be added in Photoshop, simply because it doesn't exist in Poser or Bryce (or whatever program you're using). Certain special effects, for instance. I think that Photoshop is just another tool to complete an idea. It doesn't matter to me. Sure, it's amazing when someone achieves a "perfect" image with no postwork, but it doesn't happen for most of us, especially if we have a certain result in mind that Poser or Bryce doesn't do internally. Photographers use Photoshop to retouch photos. That's what the program was created for. So, there's no reason why it can't be used in artwork, as well. Just my two cents worth. Melanie
