I like photoshop for evening out skin tone, erasing bruises, shadows, and the like, but I personally feel like drastic manipulation of bodies (taking inches off the waist - increasing bust size, etc.) is cheating, and can be considered misrepresenting oneself. If you take twenty pounds off in photoshop, anyone who hires you is going to wonder what happened when you show up drastically different from the way you advertise yourself. It's like the dancer who uses a twenty-year-old picture on all her promo material.
I knew a dancer who gave herself a virtual facelift in every picture. Not only was this really not necessary, the end result was often obviously photoshopped and looked distorted and wrong. I feel the same way about the images in Playboy. Some of them are so heavily photoshopped, I wonder why they bothered with a real model at all.
