... there are ways to manipulate anything you want, in both digital and film photography.

I'm sure. I'm talking about RTS (Ready To See) digital photography vs the earlier kind. Perhaps I've seen the result of too many cheap digital cameras, but then the colours look off. But this is taking off topic too far

This just in:

I think the arms are way too skinny. Combined with the skinny trousers, he looks like a blue M&M character. The button stance appears a little too high to me, but I'm less sure about that. I think the colors are perfect. Now I want a navy blue double-breasted blazer.

Foofed:

I just made the sleeves fuller. Better, worse?

I am not sure I see what you are saying about the sleeves, but the button stance I agree on. Also the pants just look a little too short and tapered.

Unfoofed is 10x better IMO. Can't get it right all the time...

I don't have such a problem with the trousers. Maybe they could be a tiny bit fuller, but I think the sleeves are the real culprit.

Not really. The way you 'foofed' it makes him look like a linebacker without man legs.

In the foofed version, looks like he's trying to smuggle sausages in his sleeves.

You guys are all wrong. Girly arms belong on girls.

If this is so, maybe SW&D ought to be renamed GW&D

The way some of them wear jeans I bet there will be a sudden influx of less manly men soon to come.

Foofed version fafails.

Also - look at the angle at which the picture is taken. The jacket could very well be slim fitting in line with the arms but you wouldn't be able to tell from this angle.
