Pixel Perfect

I thought this article was extremely interesting. It made me really, for the first time, realize how often pictures that we looked at are altered. I think that often we hear about images being altered in a negative way, but this article pointed out some of the other reasons and justifications for altering pictures. For example, when he talks about how one image was altered because the sky looked too polluted or because a girl looked unhealthy, or to add more clothes to a badly dressed celeb. It just seemed so amazing the amount of things he seemed to achieve with all the different tools they were describing. I also thought that it was interesting to hear about his history and how that shaped what he was doing with images. Simply the idea that someone looked "too small" or "teeny" and that he wanted to change that gives me a different idea about altering such images. Overall I found the article enlightening and a wonderful description and example of how image altering can happen or function.
