->> Can't imagine what the newspaper's Page 3 girl section must be like. A whole paragraph about how attractive she is, and no photos!
Somebody needs to tell Bill... there's someone who finds his wife is potentially attractive. Boy is he going to be shocked! |

->> The one comment to the link Michael posted is very disturbing:
"Who only knows what lies we are always being fed. I am sure that 99% of news and photos are edited so that we get just the right message they want to produce. Anyone else fed up with all the propaganda?"

As a photojournalist this is not good news. Hopefully this isn't what the average person believes. However, I hear more and more people use Photoshop as a verb while out on assignment. "Can you Photoshop that to make me look thinner"... "Can't you just Photoshop that guy out of the photo..."
I do my best to explain to the people that news photos do not get "Photoshopped", what they see in the paper is what actually happened. I usually tell them that Photoshopping a photo is like a reporter changing a quote. Either way it's lying. |

->> Never tell someone that you've "Photoshopped" a picture.
Tell them you've "airbrushed" it. It'll confuse the hell out of them. |
