If only the iPlayer didn't lock out non UK residents!

One of my friends studies photography and he has a professional camera. He spends a lot of time taking portrait photos of his friends, and all my favourite photos of myself are from him. He uploads them on Facebook and tags me, and I download them to use elsewhere, or even to send my family.

Recently I found out that he uses Photoshop to airbrush all these photos. He showed me how he does it with a photo of his mum - not only did he take away her wrinkles, but he changed the structure of her face.

I don't look at photos of myself very much, and I don't even properly look at my reflection much. It was really weird to find out the image of myself I have been seeing is a computer-edited one.
