One thing I did learn from experienced Photoshop users was that, you don't need to have a calibrated monitor to properly adjust the colors in a photo. (my monitor is color calibrated....as is my scanner and printer.) If you use a plug-in to Photoshop called Curvemeister, that will allow you to color correct photos. If you've ever used "curves" in Photoshop, Curvemeister is like "curves" on steroids. I don't know what it costs these days since I bought it years ago, but once you learn how to use it, you'll find that it's worth every penny.
Anyway, as I said, it's a moot point since AW has stated that they won't be using Photoshop to touch up their photos. (does AW even have Photoshop?)

For some reason photoshop feels more like cheating compared to make-up... I'm weird like that I guess
because in "real life" thats what someone would do, and this site is about trying to see pretty everyday ladies and you don't see photoshoped people walking around, but you will see a bit of make-up.
but I like the no make-up / no photoshop policy, I'm just saying I agree with the "photoshop feels more like cheating compared to make-up.."

Please don't. The AW models' natural charms are all that's needed. I have viewed some of the sites that aspire to perfection-- I strongly prefer the approach AW has always taken. If the model has a scar or mole, or other mark she's still herself. I note that Immie has a significant mole on her right breast. Immie might be more beautiful, not less, because of her flaw, if it is a flaw.

I'm reminded of the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie in which the pirates' "code" suddenly became "guidelines"!
While the vote for no photoshopping is clear perhaps the rule should not be set in stone, such that photoshop is never used, but there as a guideline. In the end it should be up to AW to use photoshop where it is deemed necessary. I'm entirely confident that it would not used merely for glamour enhancement.

I agree that I really like the fact the site doesn't use photoshop (i don't think photoshop is always bad but there are enough sites using photoshop already, it's nice to have some that don't!)... BUT I also have to agree with Yara, I think if the site doesn't want to use photoshop, personally I'd find it a lot better if that meant that AW would really accept models with all their imperfections, otherwise it is a little bit of a misleading idea of natural (natural people are covered in pimples, sometimes ! well i guess i just think the word 'natural' is just a little confusing sometimes). I am pretty paranoid everytime I have a shoot with AW about the grooming check part, although I personally don't often get many pimples, part of my 'natural' self for example is that I've got quite pale skin and bruise extremely easily. sometimes i think they look kind of nice, actually... but accepting an AW shoot for me means really limiting the type of stuff i do the days before because otherwise i'll surely show up a little bit blue..
