photoshop

That's true.
I wonder what the photo editors would say if a celeb refused to be photoshopped? Would they do it anyways or would that be illegal to do it without their consent?

There was some issue a while back regarding one of the female musicians. I think it was Sara McLachlan (or however you spell it). The photo editor photoshopped her armpits and she got PISSED!!! They thought it was a weird shadow, but turns out this chick didn't shave her pits. So she was very insulted that they retouched it.

I don't know what the parameters are, otherwise. Here we don't mess with the shape of the face. I'm just evening out skin tones, touching up blemishes, minimizing the appearance of lines without fully removing them... that type of thing. Unless its a full on fashion image... then its a little more extreme.

I've gotten quite good at photoshopping and can make myself look a good 60lbs lighter and have the picture still be believable. (Just for curiosity's sake)

What drives me nuts that is that all these women posing for the commercials are on white backdrops. I've even seen some that still look a little pixelated......and these are the people who are pushing the obsession with perfection, the ones who are not "perfect" enough with to go without photoshopping. Thanks a lot.

That's nuts. I didn't realize the extent to which people are edited in the media now days.

It can be even more extreme than what they were showing on that vid.

She said "Yeah, that's me. After being extensively photoshopped. My eye color changed, my body changed, my skin tone changed, my hair changed, my face changed. They gave me a six-pack and made my musculature more defined. That's what they do nowadays."

It's not even nowadays...

Go back to the OJ Simpson covers of Time and Newsweek magazines... years and years ago - both magazines used the same photograph, one magazine made OJ darker and slightly more sinister looking.

That woman who gave birth to the litter of children- the news magazine who put her on he cover straightened and whitened her teeth... and cleaned up her skin.

a company I used to work for years ago, did post production work for Playboy... errant hairs, unsightly bumps and lumps, acne ,etc were all 'magically erased'
