RapidFire: Photoshop Before and Afters
Eating 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:
- Pandagon linked to Jezebel about the Redbook Faith Hill cover work.
- Hemmy shows Christian, Penelope, Naomi, Brittney, Julia, Eva and more.
- Hollyscoop offers Kate and Jonathan to your naked eye.
- Kris Abel offers links to the following resources in the industries of photo enhancement and surgery:
- Girlpower’s random magazine cover demo
- Shanzcan’s gallery of retouches
- Digital Pablo’s portfolio
- Glenn Feron’s portfolio
- Chris Tarantino’s work
- Christiane Beaulieu’s gallery
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.
