Is this site for people to get valid feedback or for others to get on their high hors

eeeh by gum... this has been an interesting read.

C&C on my photo's does not offend me in any way.

People being rude to young girls on here does offend me. They are trying to improve their skills!!!

People assuming I am stealing photoshop offends me. My friend gave me a copy, it didn't work properly, I was asking advice on getting my own copy but everyone stated making judgements.
The original copy of photoshop is now working fine as i have downloaded the correct version for the serial number i was given. (Legal, she paid for it, she can put it on whatever laptops she wants)

I thank you all for your time!

I don't see any issue with a person buying a used copy of Photoshop, calling up the Adobe guys(who are really cool), and getting some help installing it. I don't think anybody even judged you harshly on that thread.

In any case, if the comments on that thread pertaining to your used Photoshop bothered you, you might as well put me on ignore now...You are going to hate me if I ever critique one of your photos. You are too thin-skinned for this hobby. We have all been told our work sucked. Most of us grew from it. You want people to be nice to you, and it's hard to grow from people telling you, 'nice photo'.

Would you be offended if i called u a thief? I would imagine so. And told you if you are are not wealthy enough then you are no good for the hooby you choose to persure?
That is a personal insult, and has nothing to do with my work!

The main point of my post was that THIS is not what the forum is about surely???? And yet I find myself wrapped up in it! ha ha!

But that's the joy of the written word... easily misread/misunderstood/misinterpreted.

Are you referring to yourself? Sabrina? K-burrito? :lmao: Age, gender, and race has nothing to do with the feedback people receive here. It's how they present themselves, their work, and their intentions. Whether it be getting butthurt over feedback they received, asked a basic question they should have either already known (such as when they present themselves as "professional") or could have easily Google'd and found the answer themselves, or simply started a useless thread to rant.

Sometimes, people can be outright rude and nasty. In those situations there is usually some history between the two posters or the targeted poster has developed a less than ideal rapport with the forum community.

If you don't like someone, simply put them on ignore - this has been said many, many times. Usually not done, because some people enjoy the drama.

Example is being told that if you don't have a lot of money then you shouldn't take up photography. That is, in my opinion, not contructive feedback.
Gonna be fun reading!

Typically this is done for couple of reasons - to put things into perspective for people interested in photography or the above mentioned "professionals" not having adequate equipment to serve paying clients. And obviously, the software piracy comes in to play as well.

You chose to get wrapped up in it...first by caring what a guy said on an internet forum, and second by starting a thread about it. I'm guilty of both...heck, I did it a few weeks ago. It didn't help then, and it won't help you.

My .02 for what I've seen in this forum and maybe what the OP is trying to say.


Negative unconstructive criticism on newbie's work:

-they're snapshots
-they look like *****
-not interesting pics here
-:thumbdown:


Negative Constructive criticism:

-they're snapshots, try framing your objective only.
-Very underexposed, try a higher ISO; shoot at a different angle.....
-Not very interesting but this is what worked for me, ........

A lot of the negative/rude comments are powered behind a screen via the internetzzzz, I really doubt they would use the same type of words in person.

Would you be offended if i called u a thief?

That depends. Was I pirating software when you called me a thief?

This is getting amusing, especially because the other day a friend nearly tore my head off when I told him his photos lacked interesting content.

I wouldn't doubt it, nothing like a mad hipster with a camera.

 

[DennyCrane]

If I want glowing, gushing adoration of my pictures, I show them to my mom. If I want to learn, I post them here and pray for some brutal critiques. The worst response I could ever get here is "they're really good!"... ugghhh

And software pirates should all be jailed in an Iraqi prison.

Here I hoped this thread would be worth the 3 pages, but I find it lacking in composition and thought. Try reposting during a better time of day.
