RapidFire: Photoshop Before and Afters

by

Photo courtesy of Stars Glamour.comEating disorders are being blamed in part on the media and the perception of perfect that it’s giving us. Seldom talked about is the fact that not of the all celebrities that we look to for an ideal are actually ideal, themselves.

Enter Photoshop.

Gusgreeper passed on an item to me today, which lead to rapid-fire googling and the following:

I hope that you enjoy feeling ideal, or at least a little closer to it, after viewing some of those galleries.

    Well, it is obvious from magazine covers that there is some photo editing present, but you don’t really know HOW MUCH they have changed the skin of the original.

    The quest for perfection, ha? It never ends and it’s so painful.

    “Well, it is obvious from magazine covers that there is some photo editing present, but you don’t really know HOW MUCH they have changed the skin of the original.”

    I’m actually a photo retoucher. It depends on the magazine. I think almost all magazines retouch their photos. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t and some magazines like playboy air brush photos too much so all the girls look too plastic. That is of course my personal opinion. Some people prefer that more.

About Eating Disorder Talk

The goal of Eating Disorder Talk is to encourage family and friends of people living with disordered eating - as well as sufferers - to learn more about the conditions, where to get help, the risks associated and another vessel of communication. I come with 20 years of experience living with (and sometimes for) anorexia; my job is not to cure, it’s to allow others to speak. This means wanting to help those that want help and to provide a voice to those who don’t.
