Photo retouching has become a common phrase in recent
times. Every other photo around you is Photoshopped or Doctored. For instance,
an overweight friend of mine had 30 pounds taken off her frame to make her look
slim and attractive. Lately, a Photo and retouching service has been getting
more visits than some plastic surgeons. These services are pretty popular
because people like to upload their best possible image of themselves on dating
websites. ‘Digital Dermatology’ has helped a lot of people to get the look they
love in reality to their photographs. Little touch ups like erasing blemishes
and lightening under eye circles are the common retouches that are done.
When you perform a Google search on “personal photoretouching”, you find at least 2,350,000 results for professional services. There are even do-it-yourself software and YouTube tutorials available on the net. Digitally manipulating pictures is not at all a new concept. However, today’s technology has made the practice omnipresent.
One must realise that however impressing
Photoshop can make your photo look, it’s after all doctored. Doing it to a
little extent is always favourable but make sure the intension never crosses
the line.

Photoshop everywhere
Photoshop has made it pretty easy for
anybody to add personal touch ups to their photographs. For professional models
there are specialized and trained people available who work on their
photographs to a great deal. These services make your skin look smooth and
shiny and remove irritating skin flaws. They even remove red-eyes and
auto-correct colors
Drawing
a line
‘That the camera does not lie’ is no truer.
The amount of manipulations that can be done using the recent software is
unimaginable. But how do we realise how far is just too far. It can get
frustrating for a reader to open up a magazine and be unsure of what they see.
On a dating site, there are numerous photographs that are found which are so
drastically Photoshopped that it seems like the person is cheating.
