Art is art. If you want science or a documentary, then yes, it would be better to have raw imagines. Fair points above. A few related thoughts, in no particular order... - I hate that modern male leads are all built like Greek gods. Think Connery's Bond vs Craig's Bond. - I understand the photographer's need to produce images that sell. But, for me, there's a line in the sand between make-up and lighting during the shoot, then the "normal" post processing (WB, curves, etc), and then pixel-by-pixel editing (FAL, etc). For me, the first two sets still produce a "real" image. The third set moves from documenting reality into fiction (yes, that's a totally subjective opinion).
