"日産は来年度からの宣伝を電波とWebのみに絞り、新聞、雑誌という紙媒体はすべてやめることになった"

"「広告がなくても、読者の発想で雑誌は作れるし、支持されてきた。ただ、満足できるものを作れば必ず売れるという時代は終わりました。多くのアイデアの中から自分たちが読者に何をどう伝えるべきか、『この１ページは本当に読者を幸せにするのか』。そう問いかけながら丁寧に愛情を込めて編集する基本姿勢が、いま問われていると思います」"

This sketch presents a novel method for digital face beautification: given a frontal photograph of a face (a portrait), our method automatically increases the predicted attractiveness rating of the face. The main challenge is to achieve this goal while introducing only minute, subtle modifications to the original image, such that the resulting “beautified” face maintains a strong, unmistakable similarity to the original, as demonstrated by the pair of faces shown in Figure 1. The effectiveness of the proposed method was experimentally validated by a group of test subjects who consistently rated the modified faces as more attractive than the original ones. Professional photographers have been retouching and deblemishing their subjects ever since the invention of photography. It may be safely assumed that any model that we encounter on a magazine cover today has been digitally manipulated by a skilled, talented retouching artist. Since the human face is arguably the most frequently photographed object on earth, a tool such as ours would be a useful and welcome addition to the ever-growing arsenal of image enhancement and retouching tools available in today’s digital image editing packages. The potential of such a tool for motion picture special effects and advertising is also quite obvious.
