Podcast: Has Adobe Gone Too Far?
Adobe Photoshop Element’s Face Tilt feature allows you to repositions faces in your photos to direct their gaze back towards the camera (or anywhere else you see fit). Washington Post photo editor Olivier Laurent asks whether Adobe has gone too far.

Photoshop has gone too far, but if it were not them it would be someone else. Photos have long since crossed the line of what is too far. I think it is increasingly becoming hard to know what is reality. Not so easy to spot a photoshopped image these days!
