Photoshop is every celeb’s bestfriend. It makes them younger. Their faces plastered on magazines are always fake. Some edited heavily than others but edited all the same. It’s kind of demeaning.

How deceptive magazines are! Just look at the whole lot of difference with faith hill’s eyes and face! She simply looks plastic in the second cover. I think she’s great looking in the first picture, wrinkles and what not! I say that is aging gracefully. Hiding her true and real beauty with Photoshop is simply disgusting. It’s like saying she’s not beautiful as she is.

Anything temporary should be removed, like zits, cuts and scratches, but not permanent features of the body.

What a lie! Did you notice the side of her back above the dress? And even her hand looks more skinny. Not to mention the eyes and the face in general. That’s unexceptable. I object.

Wow, this is fantastic. I think you can always make photos look better. It’s just getting the balance right, the subtle touches are the best.

Great Article.

Thank you for this amazing eye opener. I’m going to use this site with my teenage and impressionable students who think it must be real if it’s on a cover, in a book or on TV. Excellent information.

Yes, it is unfortunate that the entire body seems to be an airbrush of the original. We are almost to the point of just having virtual models. Why start with anybody in particular if what you want to end up with is a plascticized creation.
