Let me tell you a real story, .......... Ever hear of Doris Day? She was a singer/actress in the 1940's and 1950's. She was a pretty woman, more on the cute than glamourous side. Then only problem was, when ever they had to do a portrait of her, they would put a thin film of petroleum jelly on the lens, because she had more freckles than you could possibly imagine!!!!!!!!!!!! Makeup would not cover them enough!
That's not dishonest....... it's called creativity!

Ah......yes, I have heard of Doris Day, and seen old movies of her....but her skin looked so good.........so reading this.....

You can do a web search on her, and it will show some old stills, if you look, there won't be any sharp edges, it's obvious that the lens has been blurred. My Dad was a portrait photographer from about 1947 till 1998 or so........ They taught that kind of info in photography schools in the early 40's! ..............
By the way, what does your signature say?

I will run a google search and look.........she was a pretty woman. And they still do do a lot of things to photographs etc.....too much sometimes.....but it is interesting how much they can change someone...
My signature...well.....it's a sad one......it sort of translates...as best I can to english "all humans shall end in the grave".....meaning no matter who they are....it is part of an operatic aria.......

Reminds me of a tombstone, in Gage, Oklahoma..........
Remember me as you pass by,
As you are now, so once was I,
As Iam now, you soon shall be,
Prepare for death, and follow me!
The guys name was Peter Peckinpaw..........
