Alright, so last season I was probably the most critical judge when it came to players using Photoshop. However, my issue wasn't the fact that they were editing their photos, it was that in some cases the changes actually hurt more than they helped...
For example, turning this:
Into this:
She actually made the image worse in both the color and quality. I think it's great that players want to make their photos the absolute best they can be, but you've got to be really careful that you are actually making improvements. There is one thing that I do think crosses the line though, and that is adding other photographs (or pieces of other photographs) onto your original to create additional elements. Emmy did this last season by incorporating a hat into one of her shots.
I actually almost always do at least some touch-up in the photographs I submit in modeling competitions, but during the course of this particular game I've had to take the editing a bit further than I generally like to do simply because of the lack of photos available for my chosen model. I kind of feel bad about not being upfront about the changes when I originally submitted the shots, but here are the before-and-afters for you guys now so you can see exactly what I've done, and you can decide whether or not I'm taking things too far.
