why not bother comparing...

Photoshopping before and afters (why not to bother comparing yourself to model pictures!)

a fun site... scroll over photos for before and after... i

Thanks for the link.

Ugh! Some of those don't even look like people anymore - they look more like the fancy animation in Beowulf. xD Also, was expecting the boob augmentation and slimming and such, but didn't know they changed skin tone so much! 

Brilliant! Thanks for the link.

It takes all the character out of the face.  It's really sad.  Way to erase people's souls, Glenn Feron.  Totally the opposite of art.

Some Photoshop work I get, like taking shadows off of faces, removing stray hairs, etc, like in the wedding photos. But then he went and removed all the lines from their faces as well. Do these people look at the pictures and recognize themselves?

In my head I know that magazine photos get shopped to death, but I still have that reaction of looking at them and thinking, oh she looks great, I wish I could look like that. At least they are starting to get called out. http://boingboing.net/2009/10/09/xeni-on-rach el-maddo.html That's a model I wouldn't want to look like, haha.

Oh god i've had enough, so fake.

Why do they brush away the muscle and abs on girls? I thought that was attractive?

Some of those girls arent even recognizable. Its like theyre cartoonized.

I liked the original pohotos best, more contrast in the backround and they dont all look the same.

Did anyone else notice they had to give these girls a backside?  I guess stick figures don't have butts, haha.
