Great blog! Thanks. I recently had cosmetic surgery and by accident I stumbled upon http://www.thepatientsadvantage.com. I used them when looking for a surgeon.

What I liked the most was that my profile remained anynomyous until I was ready to decide what to do. I received replies from four surgeons that met all the things I was looking for. I liked having that complete control without the sales pressure that some of these places can be known for.

If you are going to go down the cosmetic surgery road…better to be safe than sorry. Check them out.

I totally use my healing brush in pse. I use it for everything from zits to scratches to oh did i forget to wash your face before taking your picture? No problem healing brush to the rescue! I don’t totally erase the wrinkles(im mean fine lines) that appeared once I turned thirty but once in a while it helps to soften them a bit. Hey its cheaper and less painful than botox!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your site and stumbled it for ya!

Yep.There’s no reason why you daughter should be immortalised with a blister on her lip Antoinette.

I’m an expert in using every PSP tool I can to get rid of the fever blister at my daughter’s lip. Many cases of bad luck, as she always has one when there’s a photo-shoot.
Other than enhancing pics contrast etc, I never add any changes.

If only shaving off the love handles was really as easy as weilding a digital eraser Dreamscrapper.

This article is really timely, Karen! I have recently been debating this with myself! I do touch up – not necessarily wrinkles but spots, blemishes, and I whiten teeth and give a bit of “pop” to eyes. I don’t shave off the pounds or “love handles” though I know how to do that. I kind of justify to myself that if anyone in the future looking at my albums wonders why everyone in them looks so “picture perfect” I have the original images to show them!

With technology the way it is, I wish that there were some way to fix your own photo and then print out a “new you.” Sometime in the future, maybe?

There’s an ‘I feel lucky’ button on Picasa Hannah??? I don’t use it to upload photos, maybe that’s why I haven’t seen it. Sounds a bit like walking on the wild side.

Seems fair to me too Tink. Can’t see any reason to leave things like zits there either.

Beats putting (or having someone else) on make-up everytime you want to take a picture. Isn’t that a bit of license there? So if it comes between putting on make-up or enhancing on the computer… I chose the computer everytime. That way I can get the candid shots I want and still fix the little imperfections along the way. Since I normally take photos of my kids and grands, I don’t usually have to make those adjustments. But my poor daughter, who is truly beautiful, breaks out once and month and looks like the mate of godzilla. I don’t think altering her appearance to show her in a better light is unreasonable, since she doesn’t alway look like that. Just my two cents worth

I don’t touch up my photos in terms of whitening teeth or removing skin imperfections. I do use the “I feel lucky” button in Picasa which simply makes the contrast, brightness, and colours more accurate. And of course I like to play with B&W, sepia, etc.
I’m not enough of an expert to do much else, and I’m not sure I would want to anyway. I think that photos should be a fairly accurate representation of true life!
