Happy Friday. Over at Vogue magazine, it seems the retouching crew was a little remiss with Mario Testino’s shot of Kate Moss and her daughter Lila –seems they…er…left off a few of her daughters fingers. Or worse, that her daughters fingers actually fused into her mom’s back.
So, we all know Photoshop happens. They’re in there taking out zits and making people skinnier than they really are, and taking out wrinkles and on and on. Yes, yes, we all “know” this. But is “oops, I just left off a few body parts” excusable? I don’t know where I stand on this. It’s a beautiful shot, but the sophomoric blunder isn’t lost on me.
Do YOU even care, or is it just expected that there will be some mistakes and faux pas along the way, so we should just get on with it anyway….?

Completely amateur and inexcusable. Why? Because I can’t imagine how much the person’s getting paid working for Vogue. Otherwise I don’t care that people treat images in Photoshop THAT much. It’s their choice.
too much PS. Just because you can does not mean you should. Clean up and retouching is not reforming someone. It does bother me. Greatly.
The stuff is not the problem. All kids like lots & lots of stuff. Its the photos. They live in the real, raw world & can spot a snow job a mile away.
This is a perfect example of why most teens ignore fashion ads. They have all been overthought to the point of being weak. Just yesterday my child was thumbing through Teen Vouge & commented, “By the time stuff gets to the magazines its not cool.”
I do not care… becos it is not my photo 😛
