There is often discussion about artistic integrity and whether one should
alter an image and if so under what circumstances.

Women are no strangers to the benefits of image manipulation. It has been
commonplace for years to enhance a womans' looks by shooting through a soft
focus filter for example. Even before the shot is taken manipulation of a
kind takes place with flattering lighting and professional make up artists.

With PhotoShop it is even easier to clone out a skin blemish or even
slightly elongate an image to 'trim off' a few pounds. Specific areas can be
given the PhotShop equivalent of liposuction or 'enhancement' but it is so
much better if one can honestly answer 'NO!' to the age old question of
'Does my arse look big in these shorts?'.

A way to achieve such honesty without resorting to image manipulation,
thereby preserving professional integrity, is careful choice of location:
