It has been years and years (and YEARS) since I have been in a photo shoot, but was recently in one (for anti-pet legislation...only way it was going to happen LOL). The amount of care in lighting and background colors taken for this was remarkable, having the correct color "screen" behind, reshooting, after dozens of shots, one person because a HAT brought out the wrong color on a face, etc., etc., And this photo shoot is absolutely going to be photo-shopped. Absolutely!!!! What I'm saying isn't about the National, it's about photography :-) and you photographers sure know more about it than I do.
