I was asked the other day why I thought photo retouching is so popular.

For decades, models and celebrities have been driving the airbrush trend. All the advertising or magazine photos we see these days have been digitally enhanced.

But now it seems 75% of us retouch our pics before putting them online.

According to the Kodak’s Photo Futures Report, 75% digitally enhance our photographs. This compares with just 46% of Germans, 40% of Italians, 38% of Spaniards and a mere 28% of the French.

And British men it seems are twice as likely as women to airbrush their shots!

A Kodak spokesman said: “Over the last two years, we’ve seen a real leap in the number of people digitally enhancing their images.”

On second thoughts, it makes sense in a world where so much of our networking and business is done online that we want to make a good first impression still.

Photo retouching allows you to create a photo where you look your best.
