Yes virtual site I can see the point of using a bought item as a starting point but to buy every single element in the composition and not even attempt to do ones own postwork is the point where I think it's getting ridiculous. There is no way an image produced in that fashion cab be called art or at least not ones own art. It is the art of the vendor. I can also see a use for PS actions I use them all the time for repetative work but if someone is going to shell out $600 or %700 or whatever it is now surely they can learn the very basics such as auto contrast button, colour correction, desaturate etc without having to buy actions to do it for them. Maybe the next really succesful merchant will be the one who actually makes the complete image on request. "Tisa, Do you feel cheated? Unappreciated as an artist? Does this type of post make you feel better about yourself? Or are you just annoyed?" No Spanki none of those things. Thanks for asking. the rest of your response is very creative with the truth or to put it simply for you it is untrue. I've never I've never said "I don't think anyone here is an 'artist'" so please dont misquote me nor have I insulted Eowyn. so if you wish to debate this point please stick to reality and the truth. Momcat I did not say "Anyone who thinks 3D art is easy because we don't create every single component ourselves, or thinks that the software does everything for you so therefore it isn't really art...really doesn't have any idea what it involves." Again please do not misquote me and try reading before you respond. Yes I have you seen the amount of feedback for that product pdblake. That is what saddens me. It's remarkable that so many people pay such a large amount of money for what I believe to be the best image editing software around and then have to buy actions to do the perform the simplest of funtions that they could do after a 10 minute reading of the manual
