Retouching gets enough bad press as is, what with the "real beauty" camp trying to blame unrealistic ideals on polished magazine covers rather than vice versa. I'm not thumbing this down over its supposed impact on children's self esteem. I'm thumbing it down because this is the worst fucking hack job I have ever seen.
I'm sick of those articles that turn up from time to time written by bloggers who think they're so enlightened because they've realized that images are edited, the ones that are half generic empowerment shpeil and half links to the portfolios of horrible amateurs with a copy of Photoshop Elements who solve all of their problems with Gaussian Blur and Liquify. Those are the examples that are put forward to prove that this industry is evil and must be destroyed.
I don't mind novices. It wasn't so long ago that I thought the best way to do skin was a color fill layer at 50% opacity. But in the same way that it's easy to convince yourself that your first image ever is Vogue-worthy, it's easy to forget that real retouching--the subtle kind--is nothing like this.

Flouting authority is all well and good if you have a legitimate reason. "Making some girl's day on the job that much harder so you can brag about how edgy you are on the internet" is not a legitimate reason.

You submitted two nearly identical articles in less than 10 minutes, offering the same quote in your "From the page:" reviews for each.
Don't do that.

The school system has failed me by not teaching me the extraordinarily useful skill of touch-typing. It is in no way my fault that my 8-year-old self discovered how Mavis Beacon values quantity over accuracy and it is therefore quite easy to acheive a score of 200 wpm by banging randomly on the keys so one may graduate keyboarding class with flying colors and spend many productive hours attempting to create the longest chain of dominoes ever.
Current high score: 2.05

I thought for a minute that this was that comic I drew when I was 7, but I've always been a stickler for commas.
