It just dawned on me that the current standard of retouching a model in a photo until she looks like a mannequin might be because of the nature of the beast. Long in the history of print, photos have to look their best, but reproduced efficiently, which means without oversoaking the paper with inks.
So, if my theory is correct, models that have acne and dirt on their face means that splotches of black ink has to be applied on the paper, and if that sucker bleeds in with the other dyes... well, then that doesn't make a pretty picture.
