What's up with this?
Mar. 31st, 2011 02:55 pmI was reading about the new Wonder Woman show, and there is apparently a problem with the new outfit. It seems like they changed it because people (rightly) were pissed about the shiny spandex and the high heels. The new outfit still looks a but silly, but really my problem is WTF? ARE THESE PICTURES SUPPOSED TO BE OF THE SAME PERSON???
Seriously, people. She looks pretty hot in the set picture in front of the car, so I don't quite get the "polished" photoshop look of the first picture at all. Her waist and thighs were reduced, her boobs enlarged, even her face shape is altered. Also, the one I actually hate the most is the smoothing of the flyaway hair, because having one single hair out of place is, like, SO unnatural and gross.
I don't think any of this photoshopping business would be quite so bad if it was presented to me the same way a painting is. As in, here is a piece of art which was created by an artist with a particular way of representing the material. So I think photoshopped pictures should have an artist's name underneath them, or several. The person who took the original photo, the person who retouched it, and the person who then put it into the ad or added the text or whatever. This way everyone would know explicitly what they only know now implicitly, that these are manufactured images.
