To touch up or not to touch up?

These side by side photos provide an excellent example of the genius of Photoshop. Seeing that (lovely before, but even better after!) girl's skin in the photo on the right, don't you wish someone would just follow you around all the time, taking your photo and then Photoshopping you? Who cares about fake - that second pic looks awesome! Just sayin'...

Photos from Nicole's Classes, from the Photoshop 101 Online Course. Perhaps I should take this course for myself so I too can just Photoshop the heck out of all my own photos...
