So would you be happy if we put up a povray.purist group?

I have post processes EVERY image I have ever rendered to some degree.
I do not have the cpu power, time, or patience to re run a several day
render just for the sake of a couple of minor flaws that can be fixed in few
minutes.
often recreating some of the post tweaks in pure povray can significantly up
the render time. its hard choosing between an extra day (or 2) rendering, or
a few mins in photoshop.
A prime example. I recently rendered some items on a plain with blured
reflections and unfortunatly after a 2 DAY RENDER the resulting blur was
lumpy. photoshop fixed the offending lumpy spotchy mess in 5 minutes, viola
perfect image. There is not a cats chance in hell i was going to hike some
of the renders setting up and re run it.
Dont force us all to conform to your use of povray, its just one of many
tools.

Sorry, you are confusing the AUP with IRTC newbie rules.

No, I may be wrong about the AUP (since, as I said, I haven't reviewed
it), but I know the difference.
If it were the IRTC, I would not be mentioning or hinting or debating.
It's the rule (and not a "newbie" rule). Here, while it is clearly not a
rule (or the owners would have spoken), it is still a philosophical point
that disserves discussion. What is this server in general and this group in
particular intended for?
Should I post photographs of my living room in which I have hung some
Pov renderings? My south wall is very interesting and couldn't be as nifty
as it is without PovRay.
What level of secondary effort should be posted somewhere else and maybe
a link be announced in off-topic? I think it is "any level". You are free to
disagree, but so far, the opposing point of debate seems to be "I do it all
the time". Not very convincing.

I see povray almost as a camera on an imaginary world. It works by tracing
rays of light (kinda sorta maybe related to real world camras :) more so
than an image in painter is related to a photo if you get my drift). Most
real world photos go through a lot of post processing and I see no reason
why pov images couldn't benefit as well. The goal of the post processing is
to make the original image as good as possible. I also see no reason why we
should discriminate against post processed images as I think it is part of
the entire image making process. Note however there is an ENORMOUS
difference between post processing and seriously modifying the image through
things like the lens flare filter or other big changes.

And I was just wondering, why is the "enhanced" image post five times the size of the
original image post?

I don't know how many more times I can say that the issue I have
is -not- with post processing if that is what you need to make the image you
want.
I have stated that -all- of my professional work has been post processed
in one way or another (mostly to reduce file size and/or color count). Not
only do I get your point, I didn't need you to tell me this to get it, I
have known it for years. If I did need some one to tell me this, the half a
dozen previous posters have already done a fine job of stating the obvious.
The problem, which yet another post ignores, is that this server has
limited space, and post processed images are not on topic. IMO. The AUP does
say that the purpose of this server is to support the users of povray, and
this group is called povray.binary.images, not povray.postprocessed.images.
People should be able to see images here that can be produced with PovRay.
So far, the debate against my real point seems to be to ignore the point
and repeatedly argue against some other point. Not a very convincing
methodology.

well as soon as you get on the official team you can make it your first job
to ensure the AUP reflects your IMO. In the mean time, your also wasting
server space by having an off-topic discussion in a binary group.

BTW, doesn't focal blur disable antialiasing? Interesting to see how the
bubbles are visible in an image of that size.
