I had David (my 4 ear old) snapshots Photshopped. I chose a few of the ones many of you liked, and while the Photoshop adds color, I don't know if it looks too touched up. Do you think the agent will care?

Presumably the agent will have your child in front of them at some point. My guess would be their main concern would be if the picture looks like them or not.
This said, if the coloring is in any way artificial, that would be a problem, yes. |

Humm, well a friend of mine photoshopped these snapshots of my boy. They look pretty awful to me, what do you think?

If it is obvious, doesn't look like the person, looks fake than it is not wise.
Only minor fixes on the face, such as a birthmark, whiten teeth, whiten eyes, small fixes. Once you go away from reality it doesn't do it's job. ----- on the pictures... Yeah I agree with you, the original ones look better. It looks like his skin is a tad paler, and he has a too rosy look going on. ---------------------------------------------------- I have a personality. Don't care if it's a fallacy. |

The one of him laughing by the rocks should work fine as it is.
Hes a child, so he doesn't really need photoshop. He has nature's photoshop working for him. |

He looks like the little ghost child from The Grudge. The color seems to be off and he looks too pale.

I am no expert, but I have heard over and over from agents that the talent must look like their photos. So, if the PhotoShop is mainly just correcting the coloring, etc., and not changing your kid's appearance in any major way, it should be OK.

LOL, are you serious? That's funny,hahaha. I've never noticed that. He acts like an evil ghost child when he doesn't get his way, however. |
