Amy Poehler And Tina Fey Taught Us Everything We Know About Being A Woman. If you need an example of how to be the best person ever, look no further than comedians (and our dream celebrity BFFs), Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. When we learned this morning that the dynamic duo would be hosting the Golden Globes in not just 2014 but in 2015 as well, we practically wept with joy. (This guarantees that the Globes will dominate the awards show circuit, yet again.)
In honor of this most excellent news, here are nine lessons about being a woman we learned from Amy and Tina: Embrace your bossiness. "I just love bossy women. Ignore the "crazy" label. “I have a suspicion -- and hear me out, ’cause this is a rough one -- I have a suspicion that the definition of ‘crazy’ in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to f**k her anymore," wrote Fey in Bossypants.
Step away from your screens every once in a while and live in the moment. Break the "rules" sometimes. When it comes to your career, ignore what people think you should be doing. In conclusion? I'm ready for my touch-up... the secrets of Photoshop unmasked - News - People. The researchers have developed a computerised "metric" that can automatically quantify from "1" to "5" the extent to which a digital image has been enhanced so that readers can assess how close a photograph is to reality. Health organisations are increasingly concerned about the growing trend towards the digital enhancement of photographs to make subjects look younger, slimmer or more physically perfect and alluring than they really are.
They believe it promotes unrealistic expectations of body image among young people, especially girls. Some want the technique banned completely. Professor Hany Farid and Eric Kee, computer scientists at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire in the US, believe an outright ban is unrealistic as glossy magazines have always tinkered with photographs. Their system scores a "1" when there is little retouching and "5" when there are significant changes. The rating system was devised through the analysis of a diverse set of 468 original and retouched photos. 1.
Photoshopped or not? A tool to tell. From left to right, photographs show the five levels of retouching in a system by Hany Farid of Dartmouth. The photographs of celebrities and models in fashion advertisements and magazines are routinely buffed with a helping of digital polish. The retouching can be slight — colours brightened, a stray hair put in place, a pimple healed. Or it can be drastic — shedding 10 or 20 kilograms, adding a few centimetres in height and erasing all wrinkles and blemishes, done using Adobe's Photoshop software, the photo retoucher's magic wand.
"Fix one thing, then another and pretty soon you end up with Barbie," said Hany Farid, a professor of computer science and a digital forensics expert at Dartmouth College, a private, Ivy League university in Hanover, New Hampshire in the United States. And that is a problem, feminist legislators in France, Britain and Norway say, and they want digitally altered photos to be labeled. Advertisement The algorithm is meant to mimic human perceptions.
