To Photoshop or Not to Photoshop

[RustySterling]

Here's a link to an interesting article in the Los Angeles Times on Photoshop being used to over glamorize subjects. Some interesting discussion.

That was an interesting read Rusty. Thanks for posting it.

I think photo-retouching often strays into the territory of setting the bar for outward "beauty" too high. Pah! Give me someone with inward beauty any day... and Photoshop can't touch that either way.

I can't disagree. I love Photoshop when I need it but I try to not do too much with it. It's just so obvious when it is overdone.

I don't think it's necessarily bad to enhance photos using photoshop, at least to an extent. But when you start using it to actually change the look of someone's body that crosses the line for me. If the model has a few curves and thin lips, keep it real!
