Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is on the front cover of The Australian Women’s Weekly which happens to coincide in the thick of the nation’s election. The magazine’s Editor-In-Chief Helen McCabe boasted on television news how Ms Gillard’s photo shoot was not photoshopped. However I beg to differ. Why is it that on television the PM’s teeth are very stained with dark shades of yellow/brown yet in the magazine her teeth are sparkly white?
UPDATE: McCabe has told The Australian newspaper that
"some of the images inside the magazine had been altered but the cover photo had been left untouched, except for undergoing the normal 'colour correction' process used on almost all magazine images to even out skin tones."
If you're going to alter images for a magazine, the changes should be subtle and not so drastic as we all see the PM on TV regularly to know what's been changed for printed photos.
What are your thoughts?
