To Whom It May Concern:
To start, I'm a photographer that uses Photoshop at it's basest and haven't done more than look at programs like Corel, Poser or Bryce. I have a very deep intrest in learning more about Photoshop and in the future would like to learn more about Poser and Bryce. I was told about this site and in the description was quite exticed to hear about the artists that post here and how it was a good place to learn more. So far all I've learned is who's toes not to step on and what topics are the most popular in the main room chat. (and the topics that are most popular aren't graphics related usually) I have taken classes in the past that were full of people who made a real effort to give helpful comments and critques on a persons work, where an image that needed work wasn't praised because the people looking at it liked the person who made it. I was hoping that this would be the place for that and I have found a little of that in the photo galleries but not what I was led to expect.
If it's not impolite of me to ask, is there a plan to hold classes of some sort or to start a true critics area where someone who wants a real (scathing is necessary) critique of their work can post?
