To Be or Not to Be
To Be or Not to Be, What is to Be?
To be - is a photoshop
Today I had a photo session with a nice girl. And here is the result before and after. So that's why the question.
I have met many photographer, who are against any retouching intervention. I am liberal for this and I think - it depends on a style of photograph.
But now I want to ask you - Steeminas. What is you world wide aponion ?
To Be or Not to Be for photoshop. Or what else to be done ?
Waiting for you respond. Good luck !

I prefer the untouched photo - I get a sense of a real human being. The glossy perfection of the other image does not give me any kind of connection at all. That woman is not real - she does not exist, and my brain and heart both know this.
Much love - Carl
Thank you very much for a response. Pity - only you did it...
I'm pro retouching images.
Im a photographyer by myself and most of my clients come to me to look beautiful not real. Its hard but its a fact.
I wrote a little post about it (in german)

But the summary of the post is:
People don't want reality, people want beauty and this is what I as photographer try to create. If I need photoshop to do so, I will use it.
Thank you.
Now score 1:1 :)
I would like to see something in between. The person on the right cries to be retouched and the person on the left looks unreal. Little touches like moles, earring hole, etc. would have made the difference for me.
