Getting a bit OT, but I think it is a cool story anyway.
Some years ago, I worked with a fellow here in Regina that had
worked at Playboy in technical support.
For the centerfolds, they were using a custom built Deardorff
which was exactly the size of the double truck centerfold.
The quality is better if you don't enlarge.
Apparently this was how they get the really nice quality that
the centerfolds are known for.
There is no airbrushing done on them, it is all careful
lightning and quality styling and makeup work, contrary to
popular belief.
