more like "makeup function because you aren't attractive enough as you are"

i think this is awfully sad! but i say that as a photographer...as a digital photographer that already photoshops every image not to beautify someone's ugly mug, but because digital images actually need levels and sharpening. what's wrong about this is the push for everyone to put forth images of perfection when no such thing exists. i'd prefer a camera that gives everything googly eyes or something. seriously!

its better for everyone involved to learn how to use the "Heal" tool in Photoshop and get the Noise Ninja plug in - those 2 get you 80% of the way. the other 20% of result take 80% of effort and get that final perfect result, but are certainly worth it for that special photo.
