Or those magazines where everything is good looking

Hehe. I was doing an ad for a client once who had a really nice photo for the background, but unfortunately there was a person blocking a good chunk of it. 'Can't you just lift the person off in Photoshop so it'll show the background behind?' he asked....

I'm just learning Photoshop in a graphics class. Just on the basics at the moment. But it does seem to lend itself to a bit of humour in the right hands.

Yeah, when people see shows like CSI etc bring up a suspect's face from a black screen, what do you expect? I had someone send me a photo that was about 2cm wide and only about 10 pixels wide... and wanted it blown up to A4. Certainly - no problem!

That is really a great and appropriate cartoon - I know exactly what that is like - I love photoshop. - It certainly has changed the the 'camera does not lie' statement.
Check out my custom SV (Photoshop of course0 but a great way to see what will work before airbrushing etc.
