Photoshop makes it extremely easy to edit photos from a photoshoot because all you need is someone who knows how to use the tools offered correctly and then your photos can be made completely perfect, sometimes too perfect.

I think using photoshop to edit photos for magazines is acceptable but only to a point, I think you should be able to edit out small glitches things such as light reflections that take away from the quality of the photo. I don’t that you should be able to take it as far as editing the image so much that it doesn’t even look like the original.

When you edit a photo to the point that it no longer looks like the original, then people who are familiar with the powerful tools of photoshop don’t always realize the damage done to a photo. When you edit a photo that much it makes it very misleading and it makes the photo look so perfect that it doesn’t even look realistic, but yet some believe that those pictures are.

I think that if you are using photoshop to edit the photo to improve the color or quality, your within the boundaries of editing but once you start editing so much that the image becomes too perfect, then you have went to far.
