Hi Jay
Coming from the days when they ( i ) used 10x8 and even 16x20 field cameras i know what went into shooting/airbrushing for high quality mags and im still of the opinion that digital is a long way from that quality yet ! ( nothing to do with # of pixels )
I think what people are saying is that quite a few shots shown are over retouched, people tend to use a technique that smoothes out far too much detail giving a look of plastic to the models skin. Photoshop is available to all and as such you see some excellent work but also a lot of crap where people over do the effect or dont know the correct way to re touch images to leave the skin texture intact
