Ahhh... Finally, a topic about which I actually have something to add! Sam Reeves is absolutely right. Retouching is extremely commonplace in the media today. I'm an editor for a music magazine, and there are hardly any photographs that come to us from the record companies or publicity firms that aren't retouched. At times, they do so much retouching it'll make a 50-year- old singer look like he or she is 18! It can be quite jarring, believe me.... I would guess, though, that this trend hasn't really taken hold in the rail mags, except for the technical things Sam mentions (color correction and scratches), but it's certainly true that reality isn't always what it seems....
