Thanks guys. Again, I do apologise if I came across as a little aggressive (too sodding busy with work to notice the tone, gah) as I'm really not an aggressive type. As for the other, less balanced responses to my comments, I will never apologise for saying I think someone's work could be better. I will always try to be balanced, and balance does include criticism.
I haven't looked back through all the posts, so I'm not aware of any previous wars of words over Adywan's work.
As for my perspective on fan edits, maybe my work does make me expect too much. I guess that just goes with the turf. But a friend of mine, who is also not a professional editor (and was in touch with Adywan a few times, I believe) has also done some brilliant work. I've tried to get him to post on here, but he's not big on forums. I'll ask him if I can show you some of his matte work. He's done stuff for me, and I've seen some of the stuff he's planning for his own ANH edit and it's really, really nice. I'll see what he says, but he's the shy type.
Anyway... so who here has done some editing and who hasn't? And what do you use?
