Thanks for reviewing. I keep seeing the add for this in all of the photography magazines and normally ignore them. After reading this I went and played with their demo mode and actually liked it. I try not to over edit, so the quick minimal changes it did were nice. I’m probably going to purchase this as an alternative to play with when photoshop starts to wear on me. The other thing I liked is that I have a very large screen and I could still read the controls unlike photoshop. I know where most of them are now but still have to learn up and squint to see some of them which wears on me.
Thanks again!

Retouching has been done on negatives for years. Now that we can do it easily and more extensively on the computer, we need to “keep it real”. Too much editing looks unnatural. The trick is to learn proper techniques, practice, and get as close to perfect on the shot as possible BEFORE any editing. That is what will make the portrait most impressive. Photos that have key elements out of focus, bad or cluttered backgrounds and are cropped badly will never look very good, no matter how hard you try. The more you know, the better your work will look.

You read a lot more into that post than was meant, and most of it you got wrong. It sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder. In any case, I wasn’t talking about a grand injustice or putting myself above anyone else. It’s just a difference of opinion, nothing to get exercised about.

I love how people think there is this grand injustice to a bit of photowork on the backend. As if you have some creed to only show people how they look in real life. The picture that was diplayed at the end barely even changed the model, other than to cleanup some skin blemishes and display what she might look like if she lost a bit of facial weight. A modicum of neck lengthening was about the sole change and that was hardly a “misrepresentation”. If you do any magazine work, all of the photos will be edited prior to publication anyway. Your “photographic integrity” that you embrace as putting you above anyone else is worth all of nothing in real life.

You are quite right, it’s a line I’m not comfortable crossing myself. But the option is there and I wanted to show it in action.
