    this site shows the before pics and the retouched images. Some of them are a very dramatic difference.

    Just think.. young girls are killing themsleves trying to look like people that have been digitally enhanced!
  • That site is awesome!

    Do you remember that photo spread that Jamie Lee Curtis did a few years ago? She held up a copy of it on Ellen or Oprah and said "You can't look like this. I don't look like this!"
  • WOW. I played around with that alot.
  • The one that sticks out at me the most, was a bikini girl on her hands and knees.. they gave her a whole new butt!
  • Is that Cuba Gooding jr with a girl? They lifted her back end and her shorts
    I've been a nurse for a lot of years and I ain't never seen that many round boobs!
  • Wow, is that ever depressing. Some of the most beautiful, respected people still aren't good enough. What a mixed-up culture we have!

    p.s. I just noticed another thing about these photos -- in more cases than not, he wipes out any definition in women's muscles! It's that old bias about muscles not being "feminine," I think... how sad, because many of these women look PUMPED in the "befores"!
  • True! Like Halle isn't drop dead gorgeous even in her before's.
  • Very Cool...now if only the world would start to truly understand that!

  • it amazes me how plastic looking some of the after pics are
  • I got to wondering how much of it is laziness on the part of the photographers. You don't need good lighting or a studio or back drops. These girls don't even need make-up. You can just add it all in later.
  • I've noticed with black folks that there is a tendency to lighten up their skin tones when I think they look great like they are. Our society is so warped when it comes to this issue.

    They seem to want to "orange-ify" their skin tone
  • I am amazed! Some of these people look baaaaaaaaaad before the retouches were done. Wow!
  • Can he come and do a retouch job on me before I leave the house every morning????

    Sorry, I haven't missed the point really!!!

    I think it was a photo of Tyra banks, in the middle with bulging boobs, anyway I really noticed her hands. Since I have been weight lifting I have bulging veins and sinews in my hands, it's not a problem, but I notice she has them too, but they completely retouched them away.

    Sad that the very things that helped sculpt her body are airbrushed away.
  • I had a friend who was a model and when she first showed me her book, I probably wouldn't have known it was her in many of them if the pictures weren't all together. I was stunned at what they could do with make-up and and retouches. Most of the women we see in advertisements and magazines do not look that way in person.
