Of cosplayers and Photoshopping

  1. I am getting sick of reading people reacting with "Oh it's shopped" post whenever they see a cosplayer's picture. Yes, there are photoshopping involved, but do realise that these cosplayers are really just touching up a bit. In the end, the human face is what matters. No matter how much you photoshop, if you don't have the looks, it will still be the same.
    Case of fact as below


    Not even photoshop can save her...

    UMG, IT'S SHOPPED! Yet it still looks horrible.

    Idk though, I mean, touch-ups like skin blemishes and like minor lighting/colour adjustments might be acceptable and not that noticeable, but extreme photoshopping is just... and it goes a long way, too. I mean, I saw a video on the web once, where this really big woman (and I mean big) was shopped to look like a hot girl. Sometimes, it just makes you wonder where is the line between "touching up" and "transforming" the picture.

    It's like that net-idol character on Zetsubou Sensei... hehehe. ZETSUBOUSHITA!!!
