I know few professional photographers and they use PS extensively. I'm not talking about developing process but pure postproduction. They're like michelin star chefs with butter. They put tons of this s..t everywhere. It takes a lot of time to make photo look great for publication believe me.
My reply about "which render looks better" wasn't of course 100% serious. Now Imagine fstorm dev watching this topic laughing at us. "what the hell are they trying to achieve here?" :)
As for westkaai, we are discussing work we all know quite well (most of us) and I don't think we are talking about realism exclusively (it's not possible at this point). It would be fair to test both engines in some kind of blind test. Let's say 30 selected images we all have never seen before: 10 for corona, 10 for fstorm and 10 real photos and then we could debate for days and days and finally get conclusion "fstorm is 18% more photorealistic" who cares?
I'd really like to know what devs think about improvements we are talking about, I don't see any waving hands...
