lol... we used to get that kinda response but most of our sales reps and advertisers are now aware that "we simply don't have the time to beautify every image they give us" and so its not as bad as it has been in the past.
Realtors are the most vain clients it seems though. They want a new picture added whenever they change their hair style or whenever they change their appearance and they often complain the way their photos look. Funny thing is... some have had their photos edited by probably a family member and the image comes to us looking nothing like something someone tried to paint using MS Paint or something. Not natural looking at all and looks horrible when reproduced lol.
The last bad project I got was a realtor who gave me a series of photos dating back to the 70's showing the progression of his look over the years. Half of the images were actually physically cut around hair (with scissors most likely), head and shoulders to get a clipping path look no doubt. Several of the older images were just horrible for color and and contrast. I still find it funny the Realtors think people select them by the look of the photos in their ads... when in reality its just they want to look good for the other Realtors
