(laugh) thanks ˆ__ˆ

well, photoshop kind of reveals our ideals of beauty, i guess...
when u see the difference between the ideal and the real, it's kind of shocking

even when the ideal is some sort of a caricature/cartoon -- as that asian girl became, after my evil photoshop acted on her picture. don't u agree?

i'm afraid that my victims wouldn't be very pleased to see the results.

I would rather say Photoshop helps to realize our ideas of beauty. And what you did I do consider as a good version of beauty vision; moreover, I guess many people would share the same opinion (I hope). Your corrections are not overdone and made with a good quality, therefore “remakes” are not so far from the original. They look like a piece of advice to their respective owners of what would be nice to do with their hair or eyebrows.

Pondering over if PS is EVIL or GOOD an interesting one. (Thank for introducing that point with your question into discourse and making me think of it, I’ve never thought of it)
After sometimes of deep pondering I concluded there are some pros and cons.
First I wanted to publish them here but the list is getting longer the more I keep thinking over.
So, I just say there are more pros (That PS is GOOD)

And please don’t be afraid, there are many people who would eager to be your “evil acting photoshop victims”

Thanks again.

Oh, I never said that Photoshop is ENTIRELY evil -- just the little bit necessary for being so cool

Many people get offended by the wonders that PS do for their photographs. As I live in Brazil and there is a lot of pressure for beauty, and therefore, a lot of discussions about that issue. My mom, for example, is a very beautiful woman even compared to much younger people -- and always ask for me NOT to retouch her pic, or else she gets depressed (LOL).

PS is so cool cause it's so human: he is good and evil at the same time.
