Response
Advancements in technology and the use of Photoshop, has allowed photographers to manipulate
images to suit their needs. Quite often, models and actors are “perfected” in Photoshop before
their photo goes to print. Also, figures can be removed, and placed in different backgrounds to
create a more “perfect shot”.
