Ever look through a magazine ad or see a celebrity front cover and wonder what portions of the shot were Photoshopped? I do on a regular basis..but maybe it’s because I understand how it can be used to make a person looks ever so flawless by touching up make-up mistakes, misplaced hair, and other imperfections. Sometimes it’s done very well and can hardly be noticed while other pictures should just be straight fired for editing a picture so heavily. But how can you tell?Yesterday I was reading an article that the researchers at Dartmouth College developed a computer tool that shows manipulated images. Everything from enhancing perkier breasts, erasing wrinkles, and evening out skin. Well all knew this but it’s sad that girls are still trying to use these images as a standard of beauty. Celebrities are suppose to get old and not be perfect. Why are we so surprised as if we are any better? I think these examples are pretty minor but I’m sure there are some overly airbrushed pictures especially the ads in our glossies. Check out the findings here. Some we pretty much know, other’s are a little more frightening if you look closely.

they all look pretty decent before to be fair!
I thought of iwanexstudio.com when I saw this post. It’s a professional photo retouching service, and some celebrities are in their portfolio. I agree with Dami on the note that these people looked decent before the retouch.
