I think he's found the "clone" and "repair" tools in Photoshop, and has decided that all retouching jobs now consist of "make person orange, make skin flat, highlight boobs and bum".

This site came up on another forum which has a couple of professional pixelpushers as residents; they thought it was hamfisted crap, and I must say I agree.

Well, I think that his "after" pictures look like the crap that's all been pushed at us as the "perfect ideal" for what people are supposed to look like for a long time.

To that end, he knows his craft. I think even you would have a hard time denying that.

In most cases, the original picture *needed* some touching up -- if they were to be used as model shots (which I assume was the original intent here.) As pictures of "normal people" however, the originals were fine.
