If you point out the problem, professionals begin to explain: “It is why…” But I already do know “why” and I don’t care. I’d simply like to watch the picture right!
The worrying thing is that most of “non professional”, when asked if they have seen that pictures were deformed, simply say that no, they haven’t noticed it! And someone even tells you: ”But you are an expert!”
For common people, so it’s normal to see top models or basketball players short and fat like Miss Piggy!
