Where I have problems with it is when it's used to modify bone structure, body/face shape, or any other fundamental characteristic of a person's body structure.The before/after example you showed was very well done and made an already attractive woman more attractive. But, to me, it crossed a line and became a misrepresentation when something as fundamental as her facial bone structure was altered. That's a subjective threshold, I know. Fine wrinkles and blemishes disappearing, OK. Bones being morphed...not so sure about that!
