TwoRails Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi All. I'm new here and looked for detailed forum guidelines but I must be looking in the wrong place and didn't find it. I looked at a bunch of the submitted images and there's a lot of good work here, way beyond me. My main curiosity is, are the images open to comments and suggestions? For instance, lets say you're looking at a photo and it's pretty good, but you think it's crooked. Should you mention that it might look better if it was straightened? Thanks.

Keith Reeder Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I don't get the sense that it's a Comment & Critique (C & C) forum, but a showcase for the capabilities of AP. But I'd also suggest that anyone who posts a picture implicity invites comments over and above the actual intent of a forum like this one, so (because I don't believe there's a documented rule against it) have at it!

carl123 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Yup +1 Anyone that wants to improve their work will always be open to suggestions, especially me, so I have no problems with someone offering alternative or additional advice on how they would have done what I did.

TwoRails Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks for the replies :) I didn't get impression it was a CC forum, either, so I asked. Somehow I didn't mention part II and that is if/when I post something, I would like some CC -- not bashing, but suggestions on how to take/make a better photo. I feel better from your comments. What prompted me to post is from looking at a lot of the work that is posted. One photo was a good photo overall, but it was very crooked which I felt distracted from the photo. Being brand new to AP, it'll be a while as I learn how to use it. I've watched a handful of the tutorials but I have had trouble duplicate the results, meaning I'm missing simple things and need a lot more practice. What I should do is one tutorial at a time, then practice it instead of watching a bunch then trying to remember it all later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Reeder Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Anyone that wants to improve their work will always be open to suggestions, Just for clarity though, some of us aren't posting images up because we're seeking to "improve" by doing so. If I post a picture up, it's simply to demonstrate the quality of end-result that can be achieved using Photo, not to seek approval for the image, or opinions about what I could do better - especially as I've noticed that some of the forum members quickest to "critique" others are, based on the quality of the work they've posted up, the last people I'd seek advice from.

Come on, Keith! Don't beat about the bush: tell us what you really think. :D Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
