I actually post things to my scrapbook, look at them and go, crap, because I see booboos that I did not/could not see on the desktop.

That happens to me all the time - I think something looks fine when it's finished in ipiccy or stored to PB and then - oops, why didn't I notice that little detail? (which will drive me mad until I forget it exists *lol*)

I think part of why I enjoy banners more besides more flexibility and a bigger scope for play, is that for some reason I tolerate flaws more in big works than tiny ones. It sounds counterintuitive but I think it's analogous to how every word must count and there is little room for error with a poem or drabble; whereas a larger story has more leeway - it's less about every single word and every sentence being a precise gem than the overall flow, structure and interplay of elements.

It's why I started my Deviant Art account, lol.

It helps you spot errors? Does Deviant art work as mainly storage and an online gallery, or does it have any built in editing suites?

ETA: Thank you for the compliment to my icons!
