Photoshopping tips for customers.

1 When you zoom in and see blurred areas especially were the light colors meet the dark ones.2 when you zoom in and can not see the persons skin.3 when you see an area of color that appears to be transperant and sort of floating on top the image.Only knowledge of photoshop can help you understand what to look for.But the problem is is that these are not things that can be checked out from a normal look at the photo they must be looked at when zoomed in on.There is a difference between pixelation and use of the blur tool to make work look smother than it is.If you can see work with your own eyes then do it.This topic is not aimed at any artist on this site it is a genralized topic to make people aware that this is something that is happening .

You are right Murph...I see it all the time...some of those great smmothly done tattoos have ben photoshopped...its bullshit! SHAME SHAME!!!

Hey Murph.... I think you might want to elaborate more on what cha mean.. The post reads in a slightly confusing, random manner.. Could you clarify just a little why you are telling people what to look for? I get where you're going with the Photoshop tips thing, but I'm unsure as to why you posted it... :o) theval

Fuck.... dude... nevermind what I said It finally hit me what you were talking about. Shit. Well, there's my blonde moment for the day ack.

For those who didn't quite get it ( forgive me for paraphrasing Murph!) I think he is saying that ya need to watch those portfolios for digitally improved tattoo pics...all may not be what it seems!
