Don't get me wrong, I LOVE photo shop for touching up my work (I am a photographer). It's great for enhancing, cleaning up, etc........but it's gotten to the point where it is way way over done.

I think the Kim Catrall one was most shocking to me.

I can understand smoothing out a clothing wrinkle here and there, making a pimple disappear or getting rid of stray hairs or clothing threads, but it's going way too far now.

Yeah, I agree. I think it just kinda plasticized them. Took away all their character and what makes them, them.

And that grumpy old lady in the blue shirt, clear to the right........if they were going to go to all that trouble the least they could have done was put a smile on her grouchy face! She looks MEAN!
