I am an Ayu picutres collector, but please no photoshop-cr4p.
But well, some of the studio-photoshop-ewwww-pictures I like, though (I wanna be honest, so...). For example I still love the A BEST 2 photos and covers a lot. Thats why I love the L covers so much, they look a lot like A BEST 2, especially the facial expression, eyes etc.
But generally I only collect "live-pictures" that are not made in a studio with lightning and software.

but.. if you don't like her looking fake why would you like the A BEST 2 covers? lol. that's like one of her most plastic-y shoots and she hardly looks like ayu.. and the eyes are totally digitally enhanced to look even huger.
it depends on the shoot really. we're just going to have to accept that photoshop isn't going anywhere. 99% of the time they are not going to put unphotoshopped pictures into magazines. but, we don't have to accept that something is WAY overphotoshopped to the point where she doesn't look like herself. for example, I love love love these pics from shoots because even though there's photoshop, they're still very ayu.

but I will not ever like or appreciate anything that looks like this:

where they obviously spent time trying to make her look like a different person, and it looks like they cut and pasted her face onto the body from a different picture.
