Tag Implication: resized/cropped -> photoshop

Posted under General

Hm, can't an artist crop their own work for wallpapering, though? We don't have anything in wikis saying these tags are for third party edits only.

photoshop is one of those "bad" tags, something I wouldn't want to lump a legit artist-created crop into.

I've seen that quite a few times, actually. Artists on Pixiv will often post a cropped version of a pic they intend to use as a doujinshi manga cover. Similarly, it's not uncommon for an artist to post an image in one resolution on his Twitpic account, and the same image in a different resolution on his blog.

-1 to the implication.

However, I feel that the presence of either of those tags ought to raise an eyebrow, and spur inquisitive users to check the artist's blog (etc.) for pics that match in size, resolution, format, MD5 hash (however that's done; I've got no clue), and so on.
