The Secret is Out – Secure Computing: Sec-C

THE SECRET IS OUT

Tuesday, November 10. 2009

I've got to give major props to Victoria's Secret. While they do photoshop their images, they take criticism well. When they were criticized for photoshopping out the shadows from one of their bikini models, they quickly revised the image and left in the shadows. They still did some edits, but it did not look as bad.

The reaction by Victoria's Secret is in stark contrast to Ralph Lauren, who grossly photoshops their models and attempts to silence criticism by filing DMCA takedown notices.
