Rachel Weisz Can't Catch a Break

This incident has led the aggregation sites (like Buzzfeed) to seize upon the fact that there's something wrong with Rachel Weisz; the problem here is that the "post-production" techniques were a little too over the top. As in, they Photoshopped the hell out of the image they were using of her and tried to make their product look better than it really was.

So, who do you blame here? Well, if you're a smartassed headline writer, you blame Weisz for not being "luminous" or "beautiful" or "attractive" and that's patently unfair. The real blame rests with the people who decided to use her image and then doctor it to the point where the industry watchdog in Britain had to step in and say something.

There's no need to be catty. Weisz wasn't leaning over the shoulder of the Photoshop user, demanding more of that smoothing effect.
