I have now seen in around 3 places where people are feeling they will be penalized for their editing style due to
this debate. And I really want to know why you believe Kaitlyn & I are going to hate you when it comes time to judge images from contests, etc.?
When, if you read the
rules for The Lair, you know that things discussed in that section are kept there.
That thread was for debating and talking about a concern, it has no bearing on you in contests. Nor do I feel either of us ever once came in with a
RAWR I WILL EAT U attitude towards it. :/ So please, do not be concerned things will be held against you because you want to edit in a very realistic
manner.
Besides, the only thing I will eat you for is if you stretch the board with images over 600 px wide! What ... I did not just bring that up again ...
