Re: Can someone please photoshop this picture?
Was not complaining quite the opposite I was just checking I had not missed something and ended up posting an image with no watermarks. There is so much going on behind threads lately via pms I was just making sure I was not getting in the way of a prior agreement if so would have happily taken mine down. If you want to watermark everything you post that is your choice but my comment was just querying the "A more expensive version" comment. To me that came across as if he had done the job already and then offered a more expensive version.

Re: Can someone please photoshop this picture?
I see it as Fenix work was the better image, even you said about your own how it was ' just messing around really trying different methods other than spot healing'.
Fenix also makes another valid point, maybe this is for some school work or even fake passport WE DON'T KNOW, so the watermark in my opinion, especially in relation to this type of image SHOULD be watermarked.
At the end of the day H this is a site thats here to help people out, if the helpers see fit to watermark then they can, thats there right -this is the none paying section remember.

Re: Can someone please photoshop this picture?
I dont get what your argument is and yes I am for all helping out hence the post saying what I did like she requested. No I am not going to sit here and say mine is a better image as it is not also did not know I was meant to be competing against other people. So now every picture that has a face in should be watermarked incase it is being used for illegal activity or effecting a school project.

Re: Can someone please photoshop this picture?
This is not an argument H, neither is it in anyway me putting words in your mouth, if people feel the need to watermark there work they can (it's that simple)...
Why keep going on about it all the time, i said it because i have become very uptight by people making requests and it's just obvious they are HIT AND RUNS, to the site, you know this from my previous words in other threads about the very same thing.
We ALL make contributions in our own little way here, this is why people like it here, but i say again IF ANY MEMBER WANTS TO WATERMARK they can - that or simply not post a reply with a image to it, just the explanation (simple).

Re: Can someone please photoshop this picture?
I totally understand what Hoogle meant. If fenix was doing it as a paid job then he didn't want to post an un-watermarked image. Of course, it that were the case, we'd expect him to have said so and/or for the work to be in freelance. But it was courteous of Hoogleman to ask. We do have the right to do free jobs for people regardless of their motivations. Personally, I have been surprised by some of the rudeness, but how is that any different from percentages of crude behaviour in general. By the same token, I have seen some delightful, honest requests with multiple people jumping to make a contribution, none of these watermarked. Like the pregnant couple with the heart (can't think of the name of the thread) today. Anyway, I don't like to feel taken advantage of so I try to feel out the request. I guess I must be jaded because I am cynical more often than not.
and . . . :banghead: how freakin often are we going to have this discussion???

Re: Can someone please photoshop this picture?
I did a watermark on it primarily because I noticed the name of the file "Julianna Before". At least I never speak about myself in 3rd person not even when it comes to filing my own photos. And obviously there was also a "Julianna After" somewhere lurking. And not to forget "Posts = 1" . When adding it up I felt pretty sure about that this was all about a school assignment. But as Steve say, it´s up to each and one to either put a watermark on or not. I never had any problem with freebies it´s just that I now have stopped making them. But if others want, then it´s perfectly fine with me.

Ok I must be really dumb or something This was never about you watermarking an image FENIX and I thought I had said this especially when I said

Wow really excuse me for just showing courtesy and asking a simple question as not to step on other members toes.

wow, guys, this kind of stuff is out of line!
why are you all getting your backs up over some very simple shi-? I feel a little overwhelmed by the testosterone . . .
(god, take an underhanded swipe at women while you're at it)
