Riccardo_Arietino said:Here in Europe they're passing laws & generally taking action (they've begun in the UK) which prevent beauty-product-related pictures to be adjusted.
Meaning: if you sell anti-aging creams, you don't smooth out wrinkles with "clarity" (of what-have-you) in Photoshop to sell more products.
Then again: every image is somehow modified by software (at least the one which makes jpgs out of RAW), so I wonder how these laws will cope with this reality.
It all began with this:

It is one thing to have minor modifications done to the photo itself, and a very different one to airbrush the **** out of someone's skin to make them look as a cyborg/perfect human, when you are trying to sell a skin product!
I'm surprised this didn't start before... It is going to be hard to control, though...everything is false advertisement!
