They are within artificial surgery! Changing pictures for people who are planning cosmetic adjustments to their body/face! They even take money for different bodyparts the retouch!!! 45£ for a brow lift on a picture! WOOOOW!!!

please have a look! and discuss this with me!

I think that retouching has rised to a new level here!

Pay per bodypart,,,that is soemthing odinary retouchers should do as well! It puts more pressure to tthe photographer to get better results and use models that are more...what's the word...symmetrical? I don't know! Just bored here in Bergen, Norway!

hi,
now I don't know if it takes it to a new level but definitely a new direction.. smile...

although the idea looks ok.... .... however... you still need to sit down with the doctor and discuss what you want and what he can do... so that there a high confidence level in achieving the clients goals... some phot retouch place that give you a "ideal picture", that can be very disappointing when show the picture to the doctor and then the doctor says no he can't do that...!!

a lot of plastic and reconstructive surgeons here in the states they have programs that specifically designed to do that and more... either in 2d or 3d!!! ... and I assume those programs are avail also to doctors there in the EU!!! .... so why pay extra to have a graphic outfit do something that the doctor is going to do anyway... and it a lot better with the doctor because he show you what can be done and can't be done and give you a much realistic image display ..... at the end of the consultation....

here a couple of links i came across the cover what avail and some of the ethics and issue involved with imagery type programs..
