I have thought a bit more about all that Photoshop can do, and found the following site that would be funnier if the abuses weren't so scary. Or so common.
http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/
- Every photo of person in a magazine has been seriously photoshopped
- Many photos are composites
- Women are made to fit an ideal (who's ideal is unknown) by such radical "retouching" that it is called "bone saw" level photoshopping. And it is increasingly happening to men as well. Hey, they (not me) probably need it more!
- The people who do this, the examples noted the blog excepted, are amazing. We are so far beyond putting someone else's head on someone's body.
- That said, there are some real hacks out there trying to do this.
- It does make you wonder what is creeping into the pages of newspapers. If all the ads in the inserts are photoshopped, isn't it tempting to make that news/sports/feature photo just a bit more perfect?
- And lastly, some of these disasters are really funny. Think about them for a minute and see what is wrong with them
