Gimme more! This is really an education! This is why those tabloid shots of celebs at the beach looking "terrible" are so shocking, we never get to see the real thing in print! I can't imagine what it's like as a model to see what the photographer "fixes".0

I know that sounds awful, but, there is racism still and we know this because it drives the market. Just like we are all shocked how extreme the photoshopping is. Bottom line the Dove "real woman" campaign got a lot of attention, but the sales simply didn't improve. There is no evidence women want to see healthy normal women, not according to the sales. And thats what drives the race war in advertising as well.
I wish there was more justice in that, I hate anything that shames people into buying. But that shame, gosh its a powerful emotion and we just eat it out of their hands.
That's really sad that the Dove women ads didnt generate sales. I guess we want the plastic white fakes since ultimately our dollars are what drives sales and advertisements...sigh makes me sad.0 -
thanks for posting all the photoshops. more please!0

Bump for sure!!!0

LOVE this thread!
Although unfortunately it's not a 'modern' problem - think the painting of Anne of Cleves which looked nothing like her ;p0 -

I am sure they can photoshop some of those beach photos to make them look even better or worse than they're.0 -

That's not true. In 2005, when Dove first launched it's Real Beauty campaign, sales went up by 20%. (source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesleadershipforum/2011/10/20/beware-the-hidden-traps-in-cause-marketing/) Quite a significant number in an already saturated beauty product market.0 -
...and very very disturbing. I'm starting to become kind of attached to some of my many flaws...
Hilarious!
That is. How lazy & cheap.0 -

Just read both of these threads from beginning to end and couldn't stop! I knew things were photoshopped but just never realized the extent of it! How enlightening and empowering this thread has been for me. I will never look at another magazine picture without seeing it. Our society is pretty twisted.
On another note, I was feeling kind of down about myself because so many of the women I went to high school with seemed to look just incredible on their facebook profile photos. I actually thought I was doing something really wrong because I had so many wrinkles compared to them. Only after recently seeing some close ups from the HS reunion did I realize they had photoshopped their facebook pics! LMAO!
Thank you OP and everyone else who has shared!0 -
bumping for later!0

Someone asked about this photo from H&M featuring their plus sized model
The suit does a good job of puling her handles in but along the suit they did smooth it out further. theres no indent along the left side. The breast on the left, the shadow over her arm is unrealistic and that is a pretty sharp line under her breast along her rib cage too.
But I have to give them a lot of credit. As a GA I personally would have evened out the shadow off her right shoulder or darkened her skin where its very bright. It doesn't make her more or less attractive - it but it is a distraction from where you want your eye to go.
Her breasts are a little big and awkward for this angle, I would have been tempted to edit them myself to flatter the product better, but they didn't. they didn't draw in cleavage, they didn't lift them, shrink them, or anything,
I'm very proud of them for leaving her curves mostly in tact, along her legs you see those funny lumps we have, as well as the armpit bulges. There is the usual color enhancing but you're going to get that anywhere. I'm really impressed with this really,0 -
The thing that strikes me is the thigh on the left which is a bizarrely smooth line compared to the other pic as though her hip bone has been shaved!0

It might be fun to take some of these and photo-chop them even further to make a mockery of the cartoons that they are.0

thanks again for this thread!
Previously I had been sucked into reading and subscribing to Shape/Fitness magazine, I wanted to look like the models in the magazines, alas, now I can see that they are photoshopped. So disappointing.0 -
