Traditional or digital! Share your photos. Do you view the world a little differently through a lens? Let's discuss photos that you find interesting or worthy of discussion.
It all starts with a photo and someone with too much time on their hands along with a pirated copy of Photoshop…or so we may think.
Sadly this means there’s a ton of ‘you won’t believe your eyes’ photos on the internet that get dismissed instantly as being “Fake.” Some times reality is more then real. Talk about stopping to smell the roses!
I have to say that photo shopping and air brushing has made me look upon many beautiful images I see on the internet with a jaundiced eye. Especially all those beautiful ladies who may or may not be what they seem!

This must one of the earliest examples of photo-shopping – the doctoring of a King's Coronation portrait.
When Edward VIII abdicated in 1936, he had already posed for his Coronation picture for the magazine, the Illustrated London News.
But instead of redoing the whole picture for his successor George VI, the artist simply doctored it, painting over the face.
The "airbrushing", now associated with computerised images, only came to light when a picture of King Edward VIII dressed in his Coronation robes emerged in the archives of the magazine.
The painting of the King, who abdicated before he was formally crowned, was made with his co-operation by the eminent Royal artist of the day Albert H Collings.
It was drawn in advance of the ceremony for a special edition of the Illustrated London News but was discreetly shelved when he gave up the throne.

Personally I hate air brushing, photoshopping or photo "manipulation" as it is sometimes called. It should be banned. I mean look at these images that have beem "manipulated."
Now with these beauties below, what you saw was what you got!

Hate to say this Jones but many of the babes of the 20's & 30's were airbrushed. "In the 1930 s , airbrush was brought to new heights by Alberto Vargas and George Petty, the artist who created the ” Pin Up Girl” look." from The History of Airbrush.
