ABSTRACT
The next time you are at the grocery store, take a walk down the magazine rack. Notice how everyone on the covers looks so beautiful that it defies reality. For what it’s worth to your self-esteem, they just aren’t that pretty. Every cover girl and super hunk that you see on the covers was processed through Photoshop. You may have heard the phrase “... it’s all airbrushed.” More accurately, it’s all
distinct features, flattering lighting, strong composition, high-grade media, and Photoshop. Even though this book caters to the needs of video, the techniques in this chapter come into play whenever you want a beauty shot of a subject for inclusion with the video content or on the cover of a DVD.
