If you are going to post ASCII-art _converted_ by a software, you should
say so. Many people must have been impressed when you said you did these
yourself. You fooled people. You pressed the button to convert the
picture, but didn't "draw" the art yourself. The people here are proud
of their work and take the time and effort to do things by "hand."

We don't want people wondering whether the pictures are really created
or merely converted.

If you're using a converter, let us know.

My thoughts follow the same way. If you use a converter to create a picture in
jpeg format from one in bmp format this doesn't mean that you make this picture
yourself. The author of it is a photographer. And you just converted this
picture from one format to other one. This action can be made by anyone. The
same happens when you create an ASCII picture from graphics. Perhaps such ASCII
picture is in need of some corrections and assume that you made them. But you
didn't compose the whole picture by your hands - you just changed some symbols
to others. So this isn't a process of creation an ART work, just conversion and
correction.

At least state if it was done with a converter or ont.

Technically, it is ASCII art, but personally, I would say that it
should be created by your "own fair hands", or more like your "own
fair keys" cos the art part is actually creating the picture bit by
bit.  Its like using one of those photo editors to turn a photo into
a "watercolour" and then showing it off as if you painted it your self.

Allo;w me to try to clarify this (without intended criticism towards you or
anyone else).

If i told you that i was gonna show you Van Gogh's sunflowers, would you assume
it to be the original or a xerox of it?
I bet you would be a lot happier to see the original than just a xerox.

To most people it's not considered to be art if you just convert a bitmap to
ASCII (i.e. make a xerox of it), it should could you some effort to make
something that's worth looking at.

For a picture to be real art, it should be hand-made. A converted pic is nothing
more than that, it's a picture and that's it. It's still ASCII, but it's not
art.

I hope that clarifies things a bit.

We must remember the First Amendment which protects any shrill jackass no matter how self-seeking. -- F. G. Withington

Why is this not considered ascii art-I thought ascii was images made up of text, regardless if made
with a converter or not.

I have always prefered this (style) even when I was a small child and I saw my first one back in
70's  of one hanging over my dads workbench, which was made my my uncle.

Can I have more thoughts if this is ascii or not???

I think that you will find most here who do this like to do it themselves
and that is the ART part of it, although some very talented, and artistic soul
created the Program to convert a graphic file into a file pixelated into text charactures
it isnt the same as creating an image based in text, by hand. Granted, it looks interesting,
but the _ART_ was in making the program, not in the file the program puts out. 
to me anyway, thats my take on it.

Ahem... Sometime i'm such a scwerup :-))
That should've read "it should cost you some effort".

>I hope that clarifies things a bit.

And still hoping i didn't come across too harsh.

I just want to add one last remark:
You're more than welcome to post ASCII-conversions, so don't let all of this
stop you from posting pics like the ones you posted a few days ago. They just
look great!

I think it has more to do with quality. So far most of those programs
produce pure garbage (the only exception I can think of right now is
Figlet, but then it deals with a very specific type of input). If you
"prepare" the picture carefully before converting it you might get a
better result. This "preparation" is typically done by a human. If you
diddle the picture after converting it you might get a better result.
This too is typically done by a human. Usually, to get a good picture
out of a converter you have to do a lot of the work yourself.

If you create a program that can produce something that is as good as
something made by one of the best human ascii artists, then maybe you'll
get some admiration. My guess is that this will probably not happen, at
least not any day soon.

Then there's the argument that the group enjoys, even encourages lots of
"ugly" pictures. Well, pictures made by a newbie are usually not as good
as pictures made by the same person a few months later. Pictures made by
somebody who is not a newbie usually has that person's personal style,
and some people don't like certain other people's style. A program
doesn't have a personal style and it doesn't develop into an artist. If
a program is bad then it is just that - bad.

I can't really call Figlet a pic2ASCII convertor, it "simply" produces
ASCII-text.
