you know what? i agree with this thread and for some reason i thought i was the only one who disliked this. as someone who takes photos on a normal basis and of themself from time to time, it is VERY annoying when you see yourself in photos and after zooming, can see every single detail..things you didn't even notice you had
it actually makes you quite self-conscious when speaking to other people
& its the same thing with TV too
Back in, say 2002-2003, when they first started television in HD (high definition) you couldn't see imperfections so clearly as you can now
& as someone said, you can even see imperfections if a woman in an HQ shot is wearing makek-up..even if she's wearing tons
which sucks
& surely, if you do see a photograph that there are no visible flaws, believe me the photographer has surely retouched them. *cough* Imaxtree *cough*
