The photographer used their best tools for the shoot and for post production. I shoot a ton of portraits and every single person who walks in front of my lens, young/old, men/women, skinny/zaftig always requests retouching. I can't imagine who are these "outraged over retouching" people? I've yet to meet anyone (except my Grandmother) who doesn't want to be cleaned up at least a little bit. Scott is so on-point!

Furthermore, I feel once it's been 'retouched' that significantly it is no longer a "photo." It should have been captioned as an "artist's rendering" of Kelly. Just because everyone does it, doesn't make it right. Ditto here.

I had the good fortune to briefly meet Kelly not that long ago, the shot on the right does her no justice at all, she genuinely (in the flesh) is a good looking girl (in a healthy way). So the shot on the right is cheating just as much, but in a much nastier way than the shot on the left. Great article.

It isn't so much that a subject was retouched "to look her personal best," (if Clarkson had been the client, that would have been almost industry standard) but that that Self chose someone who needed digital slimming to look their personal best to sell a "slim down your way" issue! Why not retouch Kelly Clarkson for an issue where the cover story they're trying to sell is authentic to the cover model? "Follow your dream" or something. If Self knowingly had to slim down their cover model in order to sell the magic formula the magazine peddles to make readers thin, then that's dishonest and deceiving, moreso than the photoshopping. Says a lot about Self and also a few words about its starry-eyed readers. I agree with Alex.
