Photoshop really is the best friend a girl ?
Photoshop has so invaded our cultural mindset as the magic button that makes things better , more beautiful. But it is more dangerous than you might think , both because of the myth of what it can do damage and subconscious it does.
Now please do not get me wrong , I love my Photoshop. He opened whole new creative avenues that would have been impossible 20 years ago .
And really, it's not as Photoshop is dangerous because it is the person holding the mouse, or more often the stylus.
First, the danger of the myth of Photoshop: it is considered the universal "do better button. The phrase, " I can fix it in Photoshop" almost goes without saying now . Photoshop, or rather the operator, because somehow they have become the same , will enhance reality. Create in each the essence of beauty picture.
Thus, the myth is that Photoshop made things better . This suggests two things: that things are not good as they are , if more than a little Photoshop is good, then more must be better .
This premise has led to plugins for Photoshop. One in particular has become very popular with photographers. So they refined the software analyzes the subject's face and remodels to better fit his vision research of beauty.
Faces become thinner , the larger and better placed eyes, lips fuller with richer colors, white teeth and bright eyes , with skin change color. Ultimately , you often do not look like you, just enough to at least look like you , though.
Often , users of Photoshop go too far. The skin becomes , no pores, bright white eyes with plastic body parts that are cut just not anatomically . You can find lots of sites called Epic Photoshop fails.
The damage it does. He tells us subtly that we are not good enough as we are. The subconscious reads that way , chipping away at self-image , as we need to fix one way or be presented to the world , to those we love. As spin doctors , our image is managed.
Watch for signs that Photoshop is the transformation of a friend of a dangerous criminal .
However, done carefully , it can represent you as a good dress is . You do not go on a hot date to wear your clothes squat .
It is okay for things that causes the device . For example, a certain lens and angles used will shorten your legs, and Photoshop can bring them good perspective. Blemishes and sunburn that come and go , can go. We can gently correct flow errant lock of hair or fabric. We can creatively color match the outfit of the background or on your lipstick.
So beware images that feel like Photoshop was used to record it. Often what is recorded is small set of basic skills of a photographer. Fixed most things Photoshop can be treated at camera and pose. Just because something can be done does not mean it should be.
With all corrections and fixes and enhancements , it is very easy to suck the delicate life - the character of a woman - image . This may sound nice, but in a sort of dummy pass.
Photoshop can be the best friend a girl , the same way a pair of sexy heels can , or dress near the wicked body decked with makeup that brings out your eyes , accentuating your lips.
As your makeup and style, it is always best to never go to excess....
