Guys,
I thought of blogging this, but I didn't do it because I didn't want to
make a scene about this.
Short version:
There's a site called Asian Vegan which is a food blog I like to visit.
They keep posting pictures of their food, much like I do. In one post
(Exhibit A), I saw a spaghetti dish with a noticeable yellow cast to it. I
thought I'd do some colour correction in Photoshop and show them the
result. So I posted it back on their site (same post.)
Two days later I notice that there is a long vicious post about me on their
site, accusing me of stealing their pics and that I shouldn't make
judgements about their food etc. (Exhibit B) and there's a whole bunch of
people joining in the chorus.
Exhibit A:
http://asianvegan.blogspot.com/2005/01/spaghetti-asian-style.html (see my
comment there)
Exhibit B:
http://asianvegan.blogspot.com/2005/01/madhus-real-unknown-meaning.html
How can something as simple as doing some level adjustment in a picture go
so wrong...?
Sorry, this drove me nuts for a while. Felt the need to rant.
Regards,
Madhu
