Wow! My use of Photoshop would probably be just to make silly stuff. MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop! We want cigar puffing men that look like they wanna beat the living daylights out of us" Val"sporking is spooning with benefits" | |

I'm okay with photoshopping a person's skin a bit smoother, but making someone thinner seems a little more insulting somehow.
But magazines covers present an illusion, not reality. I am okay with that to some extent. My Legacy

I use photoshop for a living, but I'm too impatient really to go to these extents ![]() If I enhance a person, it's only to take away superficial and temporary blemishes, creases, marks from clothing, some of the darkness under eyes. I leave a person's permanent features in tact, since like someone above said, it's insulting! ALthough I admit I did contour a couple of girls on a CD cover because they wanted to look thinner ![]() | |

I usually lighten faces a little too, to make them stand out. I remove fluff from dark clothing too. ![]() MY COUSIN WORKS IN A PHARMACY AND SHE SAID THEY ENEMA'D PRANCE INTO OBLIVION WITH FENTONILS!! | |

A film photographer once stated that a photo isn't finished just because they've taken a snap shot. Once you've manipulated it, even subtly, then you can finally say it's complete. And photoshop can digitally make things prettier or uglier, and not just with people.
We like photoshop. But people should know they are looking at art, not a snap shot. It's this lack of awareness that causes problems. | |

It's just too far from reality then and becomes absurd. Redness I remove quite a bit too, which you get a lot here from people sweating a lot in the heat, or sometimes I'll soften the light on faces and add a little colour back to them in pictures taken with flash. I nearly always remove the blue tinge from clothing and black hair too (that I get quite a bit of from my d40x). Things like that drive me nuts and I get quite obsessive about it. In general I don't make nearly as many alterations to the people in the photographs as I used to, compared to general image manipulation which I probably now do more of. I used to do it just because I could, with less discretion. Some pics I edited for friends I look back on now and they look awful, just so heavy-handed and fake. ![]() p.s. A good example of what I might do is right now I'm sorting out some pics to upload to FB of a night out we had with my sis-in-law and her husband and some of our friends and I just softened a little bit of shaving rash on the guy's neck. .
