I love Photoshop. Period. It’s the most amazing tool for a photographer or graphic artist. I’ve been dabbling in PS for years, but still have not truly mastered it. I really do learn something new on it every day.
Today I learned that you can make an aging, but still gorgeous star look distorted, doll-like and really a different person. It’s sad to see what length magazines like Redbook will go to, not only touching up a photo (which everybody does), but to completely distort and change a person’s image to suit their desires.
I mean, I touch up my models all the time. A model may have some blemishes on their face or body, so I use things like the spot healing brush or clone tool to remove them. But I never remove beauty marks or thin out an image. I mean I had to remove a bug from a model’s hand one day, but that’s not distorting how the person really looks.
Personally I think Faith Hill is gorgeous just as she is, crowsfeet and all. I hate what Redbook did to her. What do you think?

Wow, that’s really interesting to see, I will have to show my 14 year old daughter. Faith Hill is very beautiful, it’s so sad that tthey feel they need to touch her up that much, especially Redbook!
