Question: Is this photo photoshopped!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
No, it was put together by a graphic artist using traditional non-digital techniques!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

depends upon what you're referring to!.
the border has certainly been created, it's not like she was told to stand behind a cardboard window for the photograph!.

however, the lighting looks accurate!. a spotlight behind her (illuminating her hair and the backdrop) and very gentle fill on her face, probably diffused/reflected so it's not too harsh!.

unless you were meaning--was her face retouched!? almost certainly, but only because almost every photo for publication is retouched to some degree, just to smooth out the skin and remove minor blemishes!.

no major photoshopping here!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well if it's 30 years old, it wasn't photoshopped!. i don't think that existed at that time!. But it was probably retouched or manipulated in some way!. They also added a border and text!. If the resolution was bigger, it might be easier to tell if anything looks out of place!. It's kind of small though so there's no way of knowing exactly what they did!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's pretty common for a picture like that to be tweaked in Photoshop, but I don't see any evidence of major manipulation or fakery!. The frame is probably done in something like Adobe Illustrator (or by hand, even) and then the whole thing laid out in InDesign or some such!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my humble opinion, the photo just looks funky because the colour/resolution/lighting was bad!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well sure!. That's what the border and type is!. And the photo looks enhanced as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If it's 30, it wasn't Photoshopped the first 10 years of existence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
