So it is impossible that anyone at all could look like the model does in the finished photo? There are no other humans on the planet with proportionately larger eyes, narrower face / jawline, and longer neck? Why does it matter whether or not the final image looks like the actual model in the photo? The intent of

"I will say it again. If the same artifice can be achieved with hair, makeup, lighting, etc., then let hair, makeup and lighting be used..." - you will say it "again"? When did you say it the first time...?

No, my argument is that if using photoshop is "problematic" then so should the use of makeup & hair products (and everything else I mentioned in my original comment) be, as they are used to present a non-realistic, idealized image of the actual person much like when Photoshop is used. People get up in arms about the

Did I say "hardly a big difference"? No. I did not. And your reasoning is nonsensical, as even with basic uses that do not alter the physicality of the model (light balance, tonal curve, contrast, hue & saturation adjustments, certain stylized effects), subtle changes can be important to the final outcome - and are

As a photographer, I am constantly amazed at how these posts really only serve to show how ignorant (sometimes willfully so) the writers are in regards to Photoshop (and anything to do with photography, really). I mean - it's all right there in the video embedded in the story; the difference between the final studio

I also posted this, addressing that point specifically.

Exactly. I wonder how many of the anti-Photoshop people wear makeup? Or clothing that makes them appear thinner, etc.?

Same goes for any model wearing makeup & hair product.

The most significant and noticeable changes to the model's appearance in this video (contributing to the "unrealistic view of beauty") occur before the image is even taken into Photoshop.

Yup - just round up the bill to calculate the tip, then round up the tip so you only have to add a whole dollar amount when totaling the final amount. My dining life is so much easier now after having that epiphany - and the server ends up with a little bit more, too..!

What's funny is I also used to do the same when pumping gas; try to stop the pump at an exact dollar amount. Why? What's the purpose? I have no idea...

RE: 2: I used to do that, until I realized that 1) there is no benefit to charging an even number amount to my card over an odd amount and 2) it's way easier for me (when totaling bill + tip) to simply round up to the nearest whole dollar . I have no idea why I ever thought it was better to charge an even amount to

So where are the proceeds from the sale of this song going?

You do realize you are promoting a service that allows users to easily and anonymously harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, and bully others, do you not? "The Leak rules say that you should only use anonymous email for good, but who would ever do that?" - exactly.

Good to know (if true)..!

A person might try to argue that the act of photographing a child in and of itself is harassment, but that is not what the law says:

Why...? Jezebel regularly rails against paparazzi taking photos of celebrities' children and people publishing said photos of celebrities' children (claiming "invasion of privacy!" even when the photos are taken in public), yet is happy to publish them. You don't see any hypocrisy there...?

That law addresses harassment, not photography.

Jezebel sure seems to want it.
