As her mom, I don't want to squelch that creative, entrepreneurial spirit. At the same time, it's my job to point out potential pitfalls. That said, I don't really have a problem with her eliminating blemishes on photos. But, first, we have to talk about what's OK, and what isn't. Sometimes our kids need a little guidance learning how to be sensitive to the needs or concerns of others. It's not always obvious, at least not to my children. Sandra Dan,

There are many wonderful things that come from her Photoshop experience. Just because she starts out fixing blemishes does not mean she will end up becoming a graphic artist in the print industry. She could very well apply her skills to photo restoration. I do not think it will matter anyway since I see her entrepreneurial spirit to be more of the focus rather than what she is currently interested in now. Today she wants to start a small business as a freelance photo editor and tomorrow she will be doing something completely different because her entrepreneurial spirit will lead her away from this industry, that and the creative (& entrepreneurial) minds that she will find when she attends college.
