The Virtual Makeover...in Nano Steps.

;">
Photoshop makeovers are the new craze.  I'm eagerly wanting to mention that it stirs up my often latent motivation.  Let's face it we live in a virtual world, with cyber attacks and wiki leaks, and the eventual showing of a bad photo on facebook. I believe photoshop is our safety jacket.  Because, no one is immune to this huge, "one room globe," we must all dance to the music."  So may we Photoshop. With your own eyes you see a makeover happen in nano steps, no long drawn out tutorial or celebrity showcase.  Just an eraser and pen. It made me pause...and head for the mirror. Yet with a few reservations I post this, because I don't want to seem too preoccupied with looks, knowing that visual beauty is only skin deep. But in today's world the playing field is wider, it's not just who's looking at you but what's looking at you as well, those gently earned character marks are for anyone to see, and a bit closer... that's technology. With a touch of a mouse we can see most things zoomed out. So doing touch-ups have become part of the culture, and no doubt carries its rewards. It means that you have the option to make things close-up ready. Tailoring things a bit to show your better side. I say with affection, that the world shouldn't have the privilege to see the real you unless you want it that way. And why does anyone care if you have crows feet? But for now that debate is overlooked online, your photo can be posted and altered without your permission. So for the benefit natural progression the old you has a new friend ~ Photoshop. Another widget that loves beauty. So for me, I don't focus the negative, life is just too short. But I have to admit when you see in small steps what can be done to look better it makes it desirable, you want to see those changes happen in the mirror. The changes that you create. Nothing major, but upgrading small things, using concealer, the right eye pencil and a different lipstick does wonders. I enjoyed watching the video, it also made me visit my mirror.

enjoy! A U T U M N D I V A ~Yolanda
