I've been a Autodesk fanatic for 6 years so far. Loved my experience so far.

I got a new phone a few months ago and now my gallery thinks the .tiff files are displayable images. Every time I draw I get this blank image displaying next to my normal .png export. I can't delete it of course, unless I want to never have access to my layers again. It's gotten to the point where I've stopped drawing because I'm afraid if I make a handful of practice sketches, then suddenly my gallery is bloated with undisplayable images.

If anyone has a way to get gallery to stop displaying .tiff files I would be very grateful

I recently started posting on Instagram and have been making some good art friends and making connections. I'll often follow new artists to make these connections and find people to support and collaborate with.

However I've started to get frustrated with how I keep receiving weekly DMs from complete strangers demanding me to "like comment and repost." They often have the most mediocre art too.

Now I've gotten an okay following on my own, mostly though connections with artists I liked. I reached out, complimented their art and asked to collaborate or trade. I never once specifically asked for more social media points, especially from someone I didn't know.

I don't know if this comes from a place of naivety on their part or some form of ego and craving for validation. It's gotten so common for me that I'm reconsidering even following small artists.

Has anyone else had this experience or even done it themselves? Why is it so common?
