IYD Album Cover!

[AnthonyMI]

All I can say is "WTF?"

I am sorry, but it looks like Chris Nicks was allowed to use his iMac and an old copy of Photoshop and do another hack job. I realllllllly hope this is a fanmade cover. It is tacky and ugly.

She's been photoshopped within an inch of her semblance!

It really looks like they totally transplanted her face into the picture. There is just something very unnatural about the shadows around her jaw line and decolletage. And yes, the neck is abnormally long; her head seems to float above her shoulders. For some reason I had this suspicion that they were going to do something extreme to her cover photograph. There was no way they were going to let a 62-year-old woman look like a 62-year-old woman. Heaven forbid there was just even a hint of age on her face, or perhaps a pronounced labial fold. But nope. They're going to try to trick the youngers into thinking they're buying a CD by a 22-year-old girl.

Anyone who is on a cover gets smoothed out. Meaning they get rid of blemishes and stuff using various photoshop methods, lots of blurring. Would you rather have her with pimples on her face and a big goober running down her nose? Her face does look angular because it's at an angle. It doesn't matter to me anyway. Vampires are plastic looking and eerie and they achieved what they were going for.

I actually dig it...

She looks more realistic on this cover than she did with that inside shot on TISL. Her face doesn't look THAT young, and she allowed her body to closely resemble her self, no shrunken waist.

Overall, I like it better than TISL, SA and TOSOTM. Wild Heart is still my fav but this one is quite good, too. I like the retro throwback to "age of Aquarius"

Yes and it is bugging the hell out of me.

I don't like this cover at all. Stevie Nicks and a horse? Like I said on twitter, it didn't work in 1983; it doesn't work now.

And the orb is just annoying. I can understand the whole "mystical" feel they are trying to achieve but it seems a little over-done in this cover.

I love the the forest background though, but I just can't see myself getting into this photo due to the fact that it doesn't even look like Stevie's face. It's too photoshopped. If they had to do all that, just take a photo of the back of her again.

I work in media, and every image gets photoshopped nowadays that is going to be in print. The rule requires us to even out skin tones and soften blemishes or wrinkles now matter if it's a popular star, or jane-on-the-street.

In this case, the "bubble" acts as a magic window to slightly distort imagery. It would actually be unrealistic to see her as she really is thru the bubble (which is the POV of the cover).

with the low res Ithought maybe her right hand
was holding a cane. but now I see its reigns. (?)

why couldn't the horse be small and golden. yes mike?
again, the synchronicities with the bella donna cover.

it is definitely askew. touch up seems very tasteful.

notice her right arm again though. looks like her hand is there too.
sort of floating in and out or something.

this is like a moving shot. she's init more than once.

this looks like how I believe it will sound.

totally understand those not liking it though.
at first glance, it would seem like the other new photo ofher where she looks like meryl streep in death becomes her would have been better suited for s cover. hell I was kind of hoping for a beach shot.

this one looks like it could have been shot in a oregon forest though, which I love.

[TerraRhiannon]

Holy crap, I just noticed the face thing too, like what the heck? I don't want to be the one to say it, but it looks like she had a stroke.

[EnchantedKiwi]

Love It

i guess nicks fix took the picture down.
