I'd like to call this my "fav" the way the flowers standing out against the metallic dull finish of my coat in the background is appealing to me. Photoshop.

Touching up photos in magazines and everyday advertisements has become a part of the industry. As a part of the industry it also gives job offers. I see it as a growing and purposeful part of advertising and the fashion industry. No one can look superhuman on a regular basis, and to think of these in page models looking that fine on a regular basis would be rather ridiculous.
Altering images to a more extensive point gets iffy. When you alter someone so much that it doesn't even look like them(aka longer legs, no uni-brow, stuff of that nature).
