"Perhaps we do have a language barrier here, for it seems to me you are the one doing the tagging." I don't see any tagging coming from me, but I won't ask you to give me an example as you've been trying to make me do with the "offensive" images. I don't go to comment sections typing "post processed!" or something like that. Now that's offensive. More than a language barrier, it's just more like a waste of time. As I said, I won't give you names of the images that I don't like because of the overuse of the post-processing techniques. There are too many. "Isn't "retouching" an image just post-processing it a little instead of a lot?" No. Or at least, it is more post-processing than just adding a logo. "If you feel saving an image and adding a logo is "non-offensive," then I reasonably assume you find massive post-processing to be "offensive" -- a term with very negative connotations and one often associated with calls for censorship" I'm adding a logo not to make anything more beautiful or artistic (or to post-process the image and make it impure), but for just in case someone downloads the image, the name of the person who did it can be also part of the image (yes, a protective measure). Like in every painting for instance. Is it "retouching" a painting adding a signature to it? I don't think so. Maybe I have used the wrong word again when I said "offensive". But offensive can be thought not just as something... as in "pornographic" so to speak. And nobody other than you made a single complaint about me saying that the post-processed works are "offensive". Again (hoping this to be the last time), I said that post processing, to me, isn't necessary in a fractal image. If it is not necessary, when overused, it's visually offensive, whatever your definition of "offensive" is. You'll reply over and over saying that I use post-processing in my images, therefore I cannot say it's offensive. No problem, my images are offensive then. Go give them bad comments.
