Pros and Cons of Digital Retouching Clyde Mosst
Digital retouching, more specifically photo manipulation, is nothing new. Even before the advent of photo editing software( ie: Photoshop) people have been manipulating images to suit a wide range of purposes, most notably within the fashion photography industry.
Photo manipulation used responsibly can allow a photograph to be displayed in a professional manner. By removing minor blemishes and stray hairs, viewers can appreciate an image ' s aesthetic qualities without being distracted by minor flaws on a person ' s body.
Used haphazardly, photo manipulation can create unrealistic perceptions of what beauty is or should be.
Being an amateur photo retoucher I have yet to understand the impact that digital retouching has on society however I believe those who use this technique can utilize it responsibly to lessen the harmful consequences that it may bring.
