Well, tact does require intelligence. Ergo saying "you're stupid when it comes
to tact", whilst grammatically a little odd, is a perfectly meaningful
statement. Personally I'd use the word "bad" or possibly simplify the whole
thing to be "tactless", but the meaning is still clear.

Well I've downloaded Irfanview. So I've seen the pictures. And I now have an
opinion on them:
Trying to be tactful... let's just say that the choice of compression methods is
unlikely to significantly lower the quality of these images...

No, just blind following of some social pattern. No intelligence
required in that.

LOL
I hope that was as honest as you can be. I can imagine a little bias
may have crept in, esp' if you are using so-called tact.

Heh, that reminds me of Good Will Hunting when, after his new girlfriend
asked him out for coffee. He responded that we could just go out for
caramels because it was just as arbitrary :-)

True. We all have to look at things objectively as well as subjectively and
seek to understand first before we judge. One of the things that really
annoy me is when somebody proves some thing right and then extrapolates to
say it proves everything else right. Just as an example (and for no other
reasons but being an example), let's say that a particular event in the book
of Revelations in the bible happens. Some would then say, "See, see that
proves the entire Bible is correct!" That is a falacious argument. It would
be like saying, "Because IMBJR has poor tact at this time in his life, his
work isn't good either." That would be unfair and, as IMBJR said, "stupid".
Some of the greatest men in history would really piss us off if we met them
in person. :-)

Er, I'm saying that we should seperate our perception of his work from our
interpretation of his work here. I'm not making a judgement on the work
itself. :-)

Yeah, I confess more than a little bias. I was in a bad mood last night (not
just 'cause of you! the real world has been annoying me as well, fedex suck
ass).
Anyway, I'm gonna stop bitching and return to my usual mode of making serious
comments on images:
This image (we_meat, in case anyone's forgotten what thread they're reading!)
has a really cool concept. I'd suggest the materials could be improved, at
present they look a bit plastic. A lot of povvers have experimented with more
realistic skin materials so you could try some of those (unfortunately I don't
have a link to any).
Also the crackle pattern in the meat is a little obvious, and has no relation to
human anatomy. Although maybe you shouldn't go that route because making this
image look realistic would make it quite horrifying!
Finally I'd suggest using more realistic lighting and setting, e.g. maybe have
the background setup to look like a meat locker?

Yes, perhaps the poorest part of it all. I think there's a way of
replacing it with genuine body slice images, but there's quite some
fiddling around with the applicable applet to get it to work.

As a sort of rule, I usually do not do as it were realistic settings.
