Photo Retouching .. again!

Not so long ago we wrote a piece about the 'pits and falls' of photo manipulation. Ultimately we're up for it as it's part of the game these days but there also has to be a limit to what extent photographs are 'fixed'. With magazines and newspapers being the leading force in this practice we obviously have to watch how they let things unfold - the photoshop police I suppose!

When I say the word fix in relation to photo manipulation I honestly mean that some images can and should, in places, be improved, combined, developed and even stylised! However the above few pics (from Victorias Secrets catalogue c/o yahoo :) prove that it might have just overstepped the mark! ... Idiot photoshopper ;)

Talk soon.

A look into the Crystal Ball for 2011...

1. Kate Middleton will elope with Paulo Nutini.
2. Paulo will get 8 out of 10.
3. St. Simon of the Cowell will brand the internet evil following the failure of the X Factor finalists charity single to reach the top twenty.
4. 'Breaking rocks in the hot sun' will become the motto of all state funded nurseries as the under 5's are challenged to become part of the 'Big Society'.
5. Ford motor cars will launch the 'Flintstone' as petrol prices climb out of control...The Head of Ford will state that '...the Flinstone is available in any style you like...as long as it's floor-less...'
