Lori I posted a pic totally shopped using "faceinhole" on your thread "Another Drive By" not intended to fool anybody and modestly presented -- and was delited by mods ! It was totally meant as an example of having fun by "shopping" your photos.The website "faceinhole" is a hoot!

Oh wait, you're NOT supposed to look at the pictures other people post? That might explain a thing or twoLOL seriously?? Ok, seems you have a problem with members who aren't being honest... this is quite laughable seeing as they are CD'ers... and quite frankly, I still think it's creepy that you're spending so much time looking at pictures to pick fault like that, wth are you doing?? using a magnifying glass to see if you can see something else?? tut tut... I'd stop that if I were youAnd I seriously never considered the concept of a dishonest CD being dishonest, thanks for that, I think I'm going to give it a rest now
I crop my photos to make them smaller to upload them. Otherwise it's pretty much me, I cheat a little and use tape to create a temporary face lift, that's why I always wear bangs. I really don't think it matters what methods one uses to get their best look as long as your happy with it and happy with yourself. Jaymee
I enjoy being a boy, being a GIRL like me!!!
My theory is that I can not alter myself for the real world so why do it in photos.

I understand wanting to have a photo of one's self look as good as possible. Adjusting light, contrast and color depth is sometimes needed to offset bad lighting at the time the photo was taken.
I do have a problem with people altering their photos so that the photo does not really represent the real person. I frequently see situations where one's avatar looks totally different from the photos of that person when they are displayed.
Obviously, if one has had a makeover the result will not look like that person normally does. I think that a real-life photo helps me to get a "feel" for a person.

I could point you to a dozen pictures which are obviously altered, and it doesn't take a magnifying glass to see it. You don't have to stare at these pictures and analyze them pixel by pixel to notice, if you have experience at this kind of thing - which many people do. I personally find these things kind of amusing.
When I'm reading, when I run into a word that is misspelled, or misused, I am totally unable NOT to notice - it is outside my control. When I am looking at a picture that is obviously altered, I am unable NOT to notice - it is outside my control as well. What I control is how I react to it. I react badly to misspellings and grammar errors. I react with amusement at altered pictures. But I absolutely CANNOT stop myself from noticing.
If you are walking down the street and you notice someone is wearing a wig, is it creepy that you noticed? Or creepy that someone is wearing such a terrible wig?

Thing is w/ Tamara, She is the keeper of the shiny red "ban" button. I hope she doesn't have an itchy fingerBut you should post more often! I like how not nice you are
To me there is only an issue if there is some subterfuge of a personal or professional nature involved.
Other, who cares? I only wish I had enough facility with photoshop to do any quality work. But I'd rather spend the time perfecting the real me.
Honestly who cares.
I believe it is personal preference on how anyone would like to represent themselves.
I personally don't do a thing other than cropping to get all the wasted space and file size out of the image.
I'm not allowed, I get yelled atBut you should post more often! I like how not nice you are
I've posted on a few, just not lately... don't have the time tbh, but I do look at a lot of themYou are the first woman that I've seen, that has ever commented on pictures. WOW.

Deedee, the first part reminds me of a couple of friends. Back in the days of film photography (remember?), a friend of mine enlarged and framed some of his favorite photos, and displayed them. When someone asked about a photo, he would go off into a discussion about how sharp the photo was in the corners. For him, it wasn't about the subject, but about the photography. Another friend had a great stereo system, and was near orgasmic over the clarity, but had little to say about the music. By the way, they don't put a microphone in front of a band any more. Every voice and instrument is put on a separate track and each track is perfected before being mixed. That's so we don't notice imperfections.
The second part reminds me of Monk, or maybe Kathy Bates in Misery. Or me. I have my own strange things I do, like count steps when I walk or climb stairs. Can't help it.
I work professionally in Photoshop, and without floating my own boat, I could if I wanted edit my pics in ways that you'd never be able to spot. But I don't, because I don't see the point in putting up pics for people to comment on when it's not really me.
I don't have a problem with other people doing it if it makes them happy, but I would say this; most people are bad at photoshop. You only have to google 'photoshop disasters' to see that there are plenty of professionals who use it day in day out that are no good at it. So when people on here edit their photos extensively, I can spot it quite easily. I have seen faces put onto bodies, and it's quite obvious. I never comment on it, because I have no desire to make someone else feel a bit crapper. If putting up those photos helps them deal with things, or just makes them feel that little bit better, then who am I to judge.
I can still tell though
We can do with our pics anything we want, the first picture I ever post here was a TAZZ makeover, personally I just try to find a good angle when taking a pic...sometimes I have dates with guys that I met online and I try to present myself just the way I look on the pics
Color balance, brightness is alright. Smudge tool, airbrush is ...questionable.
If I set a dating profile, I try to put some of my good ones and some not so good, so the other person gets the idea. So far it has not been rewarding, but still...
I can spot altered images, easily
I prefer un-altered images.
Like many, I will not comment or boost the persons ego who unskillfully, unjustly altered his/hers images.
I haven't really been able to tell, except when it was deliberately obvious. Do you feel it is quite common here? (Judging from the comments here, it's perhaps not so common.)

Alright, here is my photo that's photochopped and altered. I bet you wont be able to tell the difference.

Love you girl, you have a great sense of humor... this has gotten too seriousNice Necklace......................
It's not worky, Marleena. BTW...the 3 stooges are cool. My wife thinks that they idiots and hates them. Goes to show what she knows
My first opinion is that only a fool would not use Photoshop. It's very powerful, and I'm stuck with stinking Linux GIMP Image Editor... *Pouts.*
My second opinion is this: I'm totally cool with a CD using Photoshop to alter images. Do whatever you want, free country and all that junk. And even more importantly, have some fun about this kinda thing for once. One glance at the main forums proves there needs to be more fun stuff. BUT!, on a site like this, make it clear which one is real and which one has been 'Shopped. You never know when you might have the courage to actually go hang out with some one from a website like this (for example, they providing support for your first/second outing, etc), and thus... if you've shown a 'Sopped image, and you walk up to them looking different, it's gonna mess with their minds.
Besides, and I'm probably the worst person to say this, but wouldn't you want to brag about how much you can change without using a computer?
