Dan, that picture was posted as a dreadful picture, an example of what was meant to be accepted as awful, and I happened to think it wasn't genuinely and thoroughly bad.
Are you serious? Then you should really engage your brain in the future before replying to posts you haven't understood in the slightest. It's called reading comprehension. I literally wrote, "Abrupt drop in focus without any transition, and beyond the plane of focus, just a soft veil." Do you see anything like that in the picture? If so, I suggest you visit an optician. If not, then I'd suggest you consider what's going on. Have you ever heard of the word "irony"? If not, just Google it. Thanks.

No. There's no difference. If a photo isn't explicitly posted with a request for or permission to edit it, then you have no right to alter it and publish it. It's that simple. This has always been the case everywhere. Strictly speaking, it's copyright infringement and therefore punishable by law. So don't come at me with your made-up rules about when you can and can't do anything.

And again. There is no difference. Either the copyright holder permits editing and publication by others, or they don't. End of story. And the fact that you're using the term "influencing" specifically in reference to me, who wrote these posts solely because I'm so annoyed by the whole Thypoch influencer thing, shows that you haven't understood the slightest thing about what's going on in this thread. It would be laughable if it weren't so sad.
And one more request. In the future, please use your editing skills to retouch away trees growing out of people's heads. That would be more useful. But please ask for permission first.
