Photoshopping!

[Shirley Joy]

Didn't bother to read this tread, only the 1st post
i'd like to agree to anon, he knows that's not something I'd do lol it's true, some photoshopped pictures are sadly ridiculous, I personally think someone was taking the piss when retouching them ffs, anyone who'd post them on her profile wouldn't have a clue in my opinion what Photoshop means .
sad

I d feel so sorry for Renatha at times, she does seem to be singled out quite alot, I don't understand as this place ismeant to be so open-minded and free loving yet have homophobic sarky snide comments. Not to be rude here but when you say "dont ttake this as a critism of you alone" it's a cheap way to hide a comment aimed directly at someone. Some of the comments aimed at Renatha in particular are so hateful and ignorant, why people aren't banned for longer for this is beyond me as far as I see it should be treated as serious as a racist slur

I just feel sorry for all idiots who argue constantly on a forum, but as I now see it is pointless talking about it I will just add a few more names to the comedy baddie list that are not worth advising.

It's a sad reflection on community's in general when anyones sexual prefrence or gender is mocked, something I would never do.

I agree. More of it happening on the Ladyboys thread tonight by the usual crowd. No sign of the moral police there though. It must be just comedybaddie type harassment, so it's ok.

I just read that thread, its pathetic,from both sides, so yes comedy baddie at its best, report anything that is harassment, only Saturday Lara said thid, replying to it makes them as bad as each other.

Personally, I think photo shopping photos for this line of work (advertising escort profile) when a client is going to expect the person in the photos to look like the photograph’s being used.

When guys looks through different profiles to choose a girls to spend time with, he will chose her for different reasons but the main one being what he see in the photograph. I feel it’s unfair on the client if the photo has been photo shopped the way you describe in this post which many photographers seem to do plus the guy could be disappointed the girls does not look like the girl in the photograph and could be a total waste of time for both parties, however if it’s for a pay to view escort website I think it’s a different matter as most clients would be on-lookers and even if clients were to book a one to one appointment then at least the client would have a better idea what to expect if girls don’t photo shop their images for the advert on escort sites for one to one appointments.

I think if a photographer is a good one then he/she would not need to do much or any photo shopping to images.

I don’t photo shop my images apart from cutting my face out of them and cropping the photos. Some of the images I have used on my profile and on the community sections were taken out of films I recorded of myself so yes some are blurry due to the pixels.

The reason why I am up so late is because I have been going through my computer to do up dates for my profile tomorrow and none of the images that will be up have been photo shopped and I am not a photographer either, I still don’t know how to use my main camera as I’m not good at techy things.

I have a few cameras and I can always see the difference in the images whether I am taking the photos of myself or taking the images out of the movies to use, so I think it’s worth investing in a good camera and taking photos of one’s self after all people are their own worse critics and no one knows what you wish to capture better than our self too. Plus a hell of a lot cheaper too taking your own shots as it can get very expensive over a few years.

The reason why I started taking photos of myself due to my ex used to do them for me and still not sure why he was going out with me if that was the way he saw me. Loll

All the best EI guys and girls and sweet dreams

I'm not disagreeing with you; I'd expect any girl to look like her photos.

But there are manipulations that can be made which don't change her appearance.

I don't photograph people for a living, and I wouldn't be any good at 'glamour'. To see what I'm trying to get at, a couple of examples from other genres that I'm more familiar with.

1. Flower and plant photographers often resort to 'gardening' when they are out and about; it's the removal of dead leaves, twigs and bits of other plants that get in the way. If there are still some of these bits in the image, they might remove them in 'pp'—'post-processing'. There can also be technical problems with some flowers such as bluebells. They reflect ultraviolet light, and can often appear purplish rather than blue. Surely, correcting the colour cast isn't wrong?

2. Landscape photographers usually object to foreign bits such as litter, plastic bags and sometimes pylons—unless they are trying to make a statement about how degraded the countryside has become. They might be able to remove some of these at the scene, or by changing their position. Other bits might be removed in pp. If you're trying to show an ancient monument, for example, many of these have all sorts of signs, fences etc near them; removing them in pp does clean up the image. Again, there can be technical problems; snow reflects the blue of the sky, even if we see it as white. We see it as white because we expect to, it's a bit of brain trickery. But in an image the snow might be blue (or you might have got the exposure wrong). Surely you don't leave it blue?

(In the past wedding photographers used to have a similar problem; on a bright, sunny day, the brides' white dress would reflect the green of the grass, or a bluish shade if she was under a tree. Digital sensors will still do this, but it's easy to fix.)

But, substituting a sky with a more 'interesting' one is a manipulation too far in my opinion.

Sensors in digital cameras are great dust collectors, specially cameras with interchangeable lenses. It's quite easy to remove these marks in pp; but surely that sort of 'photoshopping' is acceptable.

Suppose you have a large zit or pimple on your face at the time of the shoot; you don't really want your clients to see this, and it's something quite easy to remove. But if you want an Oliver Cromwell 'warts and all' portrait you can certainly have it.

I think that there are some manipulations which are reasonable and allowable, they enhance the image but don't change the appearance of the model (or whatever). But glamour photoshopping is something else, something I don't think is acceptable or even honest.

there is a girl in my area who is very very very very over weight and I hate to say this but she really is a roly poly. Anyway her profile begs to differ due to photo shopping. they have managed to rub out at least 4 - 5 stone

i sound harsh but im not exaggerating and it is quite annoying for someone to view a profile then be met with something very very different

However, she has a lot of reviews so maybe its not that big a deal to most

Totally agree with what you are saying and the girls are saying here, sorry but not had time to respond till now!

OMG! Really some of you guys have put up thread of girls (no offence to the girls) who have taken their photos with a phone and used them as their main advertising profile photos which are blurred badly and of course would not do these girls any justice whatsoever but then you have made threads saying how great they are. Dhr!

I came across Renatha profile last week (before this thread was started) and liked her photos/video so I just wanted to say I have to totally disagree with what some guys are saying about them as she looks very like she does in her video, a stunning looking girl.
There are a lot of girls out there who would give their right arm to have her ass, body and good looks however I’m guess for some of the guys on EI who are taking the piss out of her photos which still look like the person in the video, it must be a case of not likely the way you really feel about what’s really going on in your heads when you are checking out Renatha photos and videos for probably the one thousandth time. Loll. So guys give her a brake and yourselves and maybe try out your most inner most fantasies which keep going round and round in your heads and stop being hypocrites, are!
Some sit behind avatars hiding themselves so not to get recognised or found out who and what they really are into and some go through pain, ridicule just because they are born in the wrong body but willing to stand up and say and do whatever it takes regardless of all the fools who like to throw stones, this is 2014!

You go girl and remember don’t let people like this knock you down as they mainly have nothing better to do with their lives and are mainly just scared of their own feelings and the way you are making them feel, hot for you!

I've actually just looked at an escorts profile, who I visited last month, and she's had her photo's noticeably altered.
To my eyes at least, it in no way makes her more appealing. If anything, if I hadn't previously visited her I'd be somewhat suspicious as to what she looked like, and might actually avoid her.

It's a real pity as she's physically absolutely beautiful and everything I like in a woman. I even liked looking at her profile just to see those gorgeous lines and curves again. Next time she's back in town I'll have to have a chat with her about this! :0

[busy babe18]

I know why it's done and done well it's worth it but sometimes you look at an image and say who the fuck done that, it looks ridiculous.

Indeed.Thats why I prefer natural pictures,why no photoshop as well!

Trying to get something better you can do it worst
