- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Ah, c'mon Chiller, stay out of your coffin for yet another while, I'm always happy to see you around and was all :shock: and ale: when you said you'd leave back then. Don't.
And what you say is very right.
The new "everyone only wants everything spoon-fed to them"-trend on here with the parallel "...and-we-won't-serve-them"-one are not nice. I remember that also I once asked "What is HDR?" when the abbreviation showed and showed again and I saw those interesting pics by woodsac that no longer really looked like photos, but did, and did not, and then those letters, and I asked! Just asked. Did NOT go to "Google" to get flooded with 12.000 articles on the internet. But to "my" photography forum, the one that I go to IN ORDER TO also be able to ask something "stupid" (it is only stupid to those who KNOW, never to those who DON'T know). Then suddenly someone said "LDR" and I asked "So what is LDR then?" With a minute or two of thinking, also I could have DEDUCED that it most likely is LOW dynamic range, but I still asked because I was posting and the question came up that very moment.
Why do people join forums, anyway? Special, theme-related forums. Like a photography forum. To be told: just walk out again and into Google and look it up there?
Yes, after over 3 years on here, the same question DO come up over and again. But so what? Those were MY questions back when I was new, too!!!
