(If I was the Rolling Stone editor):

 

 

ART DIRECTOR: What cover would you prefer? I've got a great new photo of Wilco. OR...I've got a photo of a couple ladies from that new film, Grindhouse.

 

 

ME: Let's put Wilco on the cover. They've earned it. Let me see the photos.

 

 

ART DIRECTOR: Here's the Wilco photo.

 

 

ME: Wow! That's phenomenal!

 

 

ART DIRECTOR: And here's the photo of the Grindhouse Girls..

 

 

ME: (gasp)

 

 

ART DIRECTOR: Sir?

 

 

ME: (still gasping)

 

 

ART DIRECTOR: Sir?.....um....which photo do you prefer?

 

 

ME: Could you hand me that Wilco photo again?

 

 

ART DIRECTOR: Sure, here you go.

 

 

ART DIRECTOR: Uh, Sir...why are you crumpling up my Wilco photo?

It looks like the Editor's internal conversation went more like "Which group has a 5-letter name.....Velvet Revolver, no... Maroon5, no... R.Kelly, that's 7... OK great, Wilco is the only one. I suppose we'll have to use it anyway, even though research shows no one knows who they are."

Rolling Stone is printed right here in Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA. I do a lot of work with those guys .... maybe I should head over there and check out the press proofs.

 

(To read the Wilco article, I mean ... not to look at the cover or anything)

I'd say that all photos in magazines are cleaned up and altered - more so the photos used on the cover.

 

That looks like one of those countless men's magazines - sad - I recall when RS use to be about the long interview - and nice photos (nudies included) taken on real film, by real artists.

You're an old soul.

I think Rolling Stone's sales would shoot up if they included nudies of Rosario Dawson, on real film or otherwise.

As a person who does a crapload of work with Photoshop, I can tell you, HELL YES they are touched up. Very easy to do actually!

As another person who does a boatload of image manipulation for magazines, I can say with confidence that every single photograph you see in any major magazine has had a minimum of 5 minutes of retouching done to it.

I think Rose McGowan has some work done to herself, cosmetologically speaking. If you see her on last week's cover of Entertainment Weekly, it doesn't even look like her face. Same with the RS cover.
