No freaking way! Got examples to display? It's a hell of a way to pad your resume.

It was actually Playboy's lab. I managed to do this because they were transitioning to digital, the traditional guy quit, and they hired me, a hack new guy. I would work with Kodak k6 dye directly on the prints or transparencies. It's like they never airbrushed the naked ladies, it's just dye and a paintbrush on the transparencies. Covers are excessively retouched, thus the airbrush look, but they actually don't do much inside the magazine to these chicks. It's all lighting I guess. I got some things in the magazines, but mostly shit like boring architectual photos or 300 8x10s of the Plamate of the Year, who was that Anna Nicole. I got to take the dark roots out of her hair, negative retouched it then splashed dye on all the prints. Hefner had three photographers following him and his family around all the time, constantly taking pictures of them. He insisted that he be the one who look good in these pictures, but he's a pale old motherfucker, while his wife and kids were all tan and healthy. So the prints would all be incredibley dark. I made them print the pictures properly and I would splash dye on Hefner all day to make him look less like "a shriveled vampire," what the old mexican printer-lady called him. There, more than you needed to know. It was a boring shitty job with a lunatic boss.
