Greetings!:> I've posted 'below', the actual (quoted) article- excepted from (USA Today-by Bomey)
Hope this may clear-up (reality check)~ any of the misinterpretations...of the intended 'posted' topic!:>
Warmest regards, to ALL~ 'CyberDave'
>* "CVS Health said Monday that it will ban photo manipulation in its store-brand makeup marketing and promotional displays, a move that acknowledges growing awareness of the harmful nature of touched-up images.
The nation's largest drugstore chain will also require other makeup and beauty brands that sell products in its aisles to commit to a photo-manipulation ban by 2020 or face having an alert label placed on the images.
With some 9,600 stores nationwide, CVS is one of the nation's largest sellers of beauty products, giving the company significant influence over makeup marketing.
CVS Pharmacy President Helena Foulkes, who made the official announcement at the National Retail Federation's convention in New York, said the decision reflects an acknowledgment that "unrealistic body images" are "a significant driver of health issues," especially among women. About 80% of the chain's customers are women.
"We’re all consuming massive amounts of media every day, and we’re not necessarily looking at imagery that is real and true," Foulkes said in an interview. "To try to hold ourselves up to be like those women is impossible because even those women don’t look like how they appear in those photographs." *<

Right, and you're comparing it to the price of a new one at B&H. Compare it to Keh or another site. You were even provided the link on one of your posts for this item. Maybe your little cheerleader buddy missed that too. I don't like to interfere, but you are misleading and have been told before.

[quote=yssirk123]So is it the OP's conclusion that because a pharmacy has adopted a new advertising policy it should be applied to all photography??? On the surface, that seems ridiculous.
Alarm bells go off for me when someone not only tells me their opinion, but then suggests that it should be applied to everyone else. When I see these kinds of threads pop up in photography forums, I often think many of the posters have neither the skills nor the inclination to acquire the skills necessary to post process their images.[/quot]
Greetings! Well said!!!

I've had so much fun making these and Angela and Angler have been such an inspiration, so I gave it one more try. I also took someone's suggestion ad framed them.
Now I really am walking away from the computer. Do Not try this at home... you won't stop. Thanks Angela! Thanks for looking.

I was looking at these, and I decided to try them.
Some are more interesting than others, but they are fun to try.
They are addicting.
