Re: Medi + DX = Medix
Reading the last couple pages, a rhetorical question comes to mind.
What is more negative: To draw attention to flaws (real or imagined) in stock products, or to imply that seeking greater screen accuracy/scene specific customizations somehow spoils the hobby for others?
I honestly don't know the answer.
Regardless, the problem would be solved by creating a sub-forum for all custom work in the DC section. Those that preferred to only buy and research stock products could ignore the whole section. And those interested in both would have an easier time navigating the forum.

That should work quite well, Mag
Surprised it hasn't been done yet

Re: Medi + DX = Medix
It has been done in the Star Wars forum. And there was a thread discussing doing it in DC and elsewhere in the "Forum Questions & Suggestions" forum. But sadly, it got deleted. At the moment the only place it is being discussed is here:

I think a custom sub section is the only way to go. Anyone want to make a thread with a poll? That might get things moving along.

For some reason this really bugs me, so I have to share this:
From MRM's thread:

From MRM's thread:
these are old shots from me, but thought of posting it here too as many haven't seen them in the DC-section.
Zack is a damn-f...-talent!
Love these shots Thrust.
Could you please share whether you used photoshop (or any other software) to manipulate these at all?
thanks guys for the compliments. monkey joker head is really a beauty!
Actually all the shots i've posted in THIS thread, weren't photoshopped! There were two more shots in the Medix thread, where I've shopped the dust away from my batman figure away ^^
But the blur-effects or the smooth effects were directly from the cam, when it tried to focus on the batman figure.
The picture which you quoted is just the bright LED strip which is directly above the figure. Thats why the make-up looks a bit more intensive. It's just the reflections from the light which shines on the white make-up.
Re: Medi + DX = Medix
Well Rory's post was only a week ago, and it's not the first time we've disagreed about what is or is not Shopped, so I couldn't resist.
The other quotes are from today, so not an old discussion at all.

Re: Medi + DX = Medix
Wow, got a bone to chew?
For the record, Thrustmaster rarely admits to shopping anything even though a lot of his pics have properly rendered logos and graphics applied, I guess he does that incamera as well? His shots are great, I pointed that out. We all don't have to agree Maglor? You are entitled to your opinion and everyone else theirs, ok? No point in losing sleep over it.

Re: Medi + DX = Medix
Nice. You're calling Thrustmaster a liar.
Obviously if a logo is added it's not done in camera and not worth discussing or questioning.
I can't tell you how many times I have had issues with Joker looking over-exposed when, at the same settings and even in the same picture, Batman did not look over exposed. Countless times. Joker is difficult to photograph with detail.
Do you want to take a guess why???
Look again:
The light is reflecting off of Batman's Black cowl exactly the way I would expect it to with the exposure on Joker's face.
You are comparing it to Bobby's hair which is definitely more brown than this. I've had Monkeys Joker in hand, and that's what it looks like in that kind of light.
I'm done with this conversation. And the next time I see you using your expertise to tell us what has been Photoshopped I promise to keep my mouth shut.
P.S. I frankly don't fully understand why this bugs me so much, but rest assured that I never lost any sleep over it.

Joker's face is white and Batman's is Black.

Re: Medi + DX = Medix
Geez, give it a break will you.
Maybe you need to talk to someone about this?
I could answer all of your ranting above in individual paragraphs, and use EXTRA BLACK text and "spoiler" pop ups to to reinforce my opinions, but thats all this is, your opinion. And frankly I couldn't be bothered. you can make a fool of yourself on your own. Thanks for pointing out the Joker's face is white and Batman's is black, I missed that myself. Who would have figured? You need to do a lot more reading about camera exposure and light refraction if you think its that simple. To get a burnt out exposure that bright, with white levels exceeding every other pixel in frame, without a hard edge on the burnt out areas, photo manipulation is required. Did you go to film school? No? I did.
Have a look again at that first picture. The overhead light is sharper than The Joker head yet it is behind him, perhaps you can show me the camera lens which allows a foreground and a background focal point whilst losing depth of field in between. God, why am i even answering you?
Thrustmasters pics are fantastic, as most of his pics are. People on here know that he shops and touches up almost everything, like Neo does, but largely denies doing it. Thats his call, thats what he is into, whats your problem?
Go pick a fight somewhere else Maglor, I have no idea where this vitriol is coming from but it's misdirected. And I have no beef with you so back off please and let it go. Everyone is entitled to their opinions on here without getting jumped on by someone who obviously has no confidence in their own.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who deals with this. Though I'm betting his over-inflated ID won't allow him to see that he's the one with the problem.

Give as good as you get. Expose the conceit, condescension and self pedestaling. I went through this last week with him when he basically took credit for Skiman's exemplary photography skills after suggesting Ski buy a tripod.

Recently? heh. I hope that was sarcasm. How about since 2009.
