| RandomPrecision Senior Member Enjoy! 8175 Posts 3/06 |  Posted - Oct 29 2011 : 10:01PMOver the years, one of my biggest peeves with porn has been with what seems to be deliberate blurring of the model's skin. This is particularly true on still pictures but crops up in video porn from time to time. I understand airbrushing out a few distracting blemishes but just hitting the whole picture with a digital spray can of blurry really just kills it most of the time. There are very rare cases when it does enhance the "ambiance" of a photo but I get the distinct impression they couldn't care less. And boy is it pervasive! Especially with still pictures of Japanese women. I can't remember the last time I saw a quality picture of an Asian woman that wasn't blurry as all hell. It's like the holy grail when I can actually make out surface detail on Asian skin. Even when there doesn't seem to be any deliberate blurring, porn seems to be shot in a way that leaves you more with a sketchy outline of a woman's features more than anything else.

Has there been a single woman's magazine that hasn't used photoshop to remove all possible blemishes, dimples, skin marks, age/smile lines, crows feet and every other possible things that make a human face look real.

| RandomPrecision Senior Member Enjoy! 8175 Posts 3/06 | Posted - Nov 2 2011 : 12:48AM Is it just my monitor? White pages look white enough to me here and I do see the occasional photo and/or video where skin colors look natural. Is it some kind of spray on tan that they just spray everyone down with thinking it looks sexy? I'm not a big fan of tans anyway but this doesn't look like any kind of natural tan I've ever seen. Are they (perhaps) using the wrong kind of fluorescent lights that have a much yellower color temp and then mixing that with natural daylight or something? Whatever it is, it's like the air itself in some porn is a sickly yellow. [Link] |

| dogzcatcher All-Star Member Fat bottomed girls make the rockin' world go round! 1551 Posts 5/09 | Posted - Nov 2 2011 : 1:35AM Yes, I've noticed a yellow tint to some porn scenes, like one with Esperanza Gomez, in "Confessions over cocktails 2". Did they use a yellow filter on the camera lens or is it the lighting in the room? I noticed a marked difference between the quality of the picture when the industry started to produce porn on video tape vs. film. Now it seems like directors are trying to capture the soft focus of the old classic titles. Of course, you'll have people complain about the detail of BlueRay titles, as being too much, with warts and blemishes visable. I like a clear, well focused porn title vs. blurry ones. [Link] |

| pat362 Senior Member 10087 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Nov 2 2011 : 1:27PM I suspect the yellow tint might be from fake tan spray. On the plus side it's a lot healtier than tanning booth or excessive sun tanning outside. [Link] |
| JohnW Senior Member 1351 Posts 6/08 | Posted - Nov 2 2011 : 2:13PM Some good 90s movies and some later ones as well (particularly from Private) used a soft or "fog" filter. I actually don't mind that, it adds to the fantasy/surrealness, and it doesn't worsen detail much if at all. [Link] |
| Peoples Temple Member People tell lies my friend. Some people like publicity. I don't like publicity. 674 Posts 5/11 | Posted - Nov 2 2011 : 3:08PM I absolutely can't stand when they tint skin color to a yellowish, orange color. I never understood this but I think it is to cover up skin blemishes. Vivid and Wicked studios are among the most annoying that do this continually. The best sex scenes are ones that look the most natural and real. That means girls dressed like ordinary women, not city street hookers, not loaded with makeup, not in 3 inch heels and not in gaudy outfits. Perhaps some directors can better explain it. Like it or hate it, but Dave Cummings, Ed Powers and Tyce Bune products do it right. The girls are natural looking. [Link] |
| RandomPrecision Senior Member Enjoy! 8175 Posts 3/06 | Posted - Nov 2 2011 : 6:39PM Though I guess it's possible some guys have a neon fishnet fetish, I've rarely (if ever) seen or heard anyone express it. And yet you see that kind of stuff in porn pretty much all the time. I guess it's sufficient to say that the blurring and the ugly color tinting (and sometimes just plain poor white balance) is a manifestation of the same thinking that goes into having women dressed up in clothing that isn't sexy at all.

| Peoples Temple Member People tell lies my friend. Some people like publicity. I don't like publicity. 674 Posts 5/11 | Posted - Nov 3 2011 : 12:13AM All I can say is I can't stand a lot of it, so I just fast-forward the DVD. My take is the people in charge calling all the shots are frankly CLUELESS and do not know what the masses prefer who view porn. They are not interested in public opinion, they deliver what fits their taste. It is my way or the highway. Basic marketing, you have to produce what the public wants to sell it. [Link] |
