photoshopped

I both love and hate the fact that I can photoshop photos pretty damn well

ooh! i have a couple of links for you, if i can find them...truly scary.

i find that i try to do a minimal amount. acne and dark circles i will generally minimize, particularly if i am giving a photo as a gift (example, a photo of 3 of us on a friend's last night in italy - it was at night, with a flash, and boy did that make our eyes look tired and our acne stand out. giving that as a gift in the current state, no way.) Perhaps shadows if they are intrusive, occasionally stray hair, but i try to do as little as possible to "perfect" things. it really is a fine line. starts out so innocently...

here are the links:

"girl power retouch" - quite good and scary

this guy does it for a living. peruse his portfolio

infuriating, and in a way, empowering. you can't help but go "hah! model's aren't THAT great."

yeah, I've seen that guy's work a lot. so maddening, but luckily I won't go nuts, if it looks like me at 18, I know I've gone too far :P

Is it equally sad that I looked at your icon and said "gee, she must have photoshopped that, her shirt is too black"?

[sarahbella1230]

yes - yes it is.
