Before/After Photoshop

oh wow, some of those are really bad....

You know, you could say something in your thread besides posting a link.

The pictures are what they are. Most of those are just bad pictures to begin with, like this


The rare exceptions, like this

Are stupidly edited.

This doesn't even look real


This makes his forehead look flat and uncharacteristic


Overall, they chose really bad examples of photo editing to showcase. You have to know the fine line between picture perfect and perfect. People like good looking people, but not gods.

This doesn't look human


Whereas, Penelope Cruz looks like a goddess before and after photoshop.

That last chick in the post above mine has a huge ribcage and tiny tits that don't compensate her body frame, looks better shoop'd.

Err, what? Her tits are huge. And how can you even see her ribcage? It isn't evident from the picture, its covered by the sweater. And the shoop doesn't even change her frame at all. wtf, lol.

Yeah, there wasn't much retouching done to Penelope Cruz. If anything, it was to compensate for the poor lighting in the original. She's gorgeous with or without photoshop.

[Oaken]

Her hips have been altered slightly but other than that it just looks brighter.

She looks much better with the bigger hips . Even though it is just a slight change....makes her look more athletic.

[Tetiel]

These really don't highlight THAT much change. You need to show something more drastic

[Valkyrja]

I said "the last girl in the post above me", that's... not the girl wearing the sweater. I was talking about this one




She's not wearing a sweater, that's a tight dress thingy


Pretty face but her body looks like a man's, that's why i said the after-shoop was better

Girls always pick up on those kinda things. Insecurities, jealousy?

In my opinion I pick up on stuff like that cause we grow up thinking we need to look like that, but in all reality they are just imperfect as anyone else. They just have a airbrush on their side.

[Valkyrja]

Hahah, I knew someone was going to say that

But no, I'm an artist. I draw human females usually, of all shapes and sizes, and I notice the way peoples' (mostly females) bodies are shaped more than most. Just.. never seen anyone with a ribcage like that. I noticed how high up and flattened out her breasts were (probably the clothes she's wearing) in comparison to where the indentation of where her ribs would be proportioned according to the size and location of her breasts. Just looks strange.
Women without curves though, yes i've seen that.
