From the looks of things seesponge, you seem to have a problem with the opinion of others.
Everyone here has the right to express their own opinion without someone like you jumping down their throat for it. You have done it now twice.
My guess is that it sounds like you will not like my opinons either, but as you said to someone else, Lighten up! Guess what, your opinon is not the only one and you might not always be right (maybe that is a shock to you).
I have a big problem with arogance and all of yout posts are coming across that way. The OP asked for comments, not for you to brag about yourself, or jump on others.
This forum is here for all to learn, not to take abuse from people of your ilk!
Honestly, I was just trying to help — which as you can see by the OP’s reply, he was grateful for that. I really don’t care what you think about me. My background is far more established than what I described by indicating I am an Art Director. I chose to leave it at that as to not seem arrogant. I will say this, I work with some of the highest acclaimed artists and retouchers in the country, so my advice shouldn’t be taken lightly — there’s a difference between arrogance and experience. If you don’t want it, then don’t use it. I don’t care. But don’t attack me for substantiating it before giving the advice. It has been my experience that people will better except criticism from a professional than an amateur and that is why I pointed out my profession. Not to “brag.” Believe me, I gain nothing by having people like yourself respect me.
I’m leaving this post. It’s not worth the aggravation. Sorry to all the others that had to read all of this. I will leave with this though: No one "learns" anything with "Cool shot" or "nice colors." Give some real input. As harsh as it may be, at least they'll learn something. If you suck, at least you'll know it. It only makes you stronger and work harder. There was a time where the tough love worked on me. And I'm grateful for it.
Enjoy zippy.
