    • this is a great subject! and i agree, something should be done about all the retouching. people should at least know whats been retouched and what hasn't. it should be done for the sake of impressionable people every where.

    • Mmmm.. interesting - i look fwd to the movie - it needs a bit more than pod time to go anywhere... then again... these issues are SO easily resolved. I, of course have the body of red rum , the face of Faye D' & the brains of Bill Gates.... but life is so much easier now I am but a humble alphabet letter.

      Photoshop saves the day. who needs reality anyway?

    • Great little video. I think that magazines should at least give credit to retouchers. I used to work as a photo editor, and there's no way that we'd be cleared to mark which images were retouched (plus a lot of stock images were retouched before we got our hands on them). I'm not against retouching for aesthetic purposes, but pretending that it doesn't happen is where the problem lies.
