    I agree. Why can't they just use the natural pictures of women?
    Natural, as in no make up, hair not altered?

    Is it really a big jump to go from make up, fake tan etc; to just altering the image rather than the person for the look they want?

    I mean, I personally don't have a problem with touching up cellulite, or brightening eyes up a bit. But shaving off parts of the waist so they look like an ideal (yet impossible in real life) woman is truly repulsive, and, I'd imagine, insulting to the model or celeb that worked hard to get a nice looking body naturally.

    I know this might be lost in the page after page of responses in this thread (which shows how inspiring and informative it is), but have you ever considered publishing? I bet if you sent anything like this to a magazine (or on-line journal, maybe Huffington Post) that you would be in high demand. Of course you'd have to be selective in what magazine you send it to, essentially you are calling them out! Maybe start your own 'natural beauty and fitness' blog. Dove is about the only company that I can think of that is targeting the 'real beauty' angle right now, but I would love to see others do it before my daughter becomes a teen!

    Another floating head? Her face is just...awful. Somehow they elongated her face more and erased all her wrinkles, of which she has many. She looks like stretched plastic. As well as her waist having been brought in a lot.

    It also looks like they did something to her eyes. Her eyes just don't look real at all. She kind of looks like a porcelain doll instead of a person. And it looks like there should be the slightest wrinkle in her clothes where he waist is bending, but there isn't.

    No amount of photoshopping will make him look like a woman. It's amazing he's gotten away with it for so long. .

    My sister in law does this to her baby all the time - the pics never look like the baby - it is freaky- but my mother-in-law loves the pics so they keep photoshopping the poor thing!

    Seriously? They're photoshopping the baby? That poor child is going to have a rough life, because I doubt they'll stop doing it the older the kid gets.

    Love this - I knew photoshopping happened but not to this extent. My god, half of these look like completely different people. It turns out they have not-totally-smooth skin and dimples too.

    Wow, what an eye opener. I knew they airbrushed and touched things up a *little* but to actually shear things off and move stuff around? :noway: Thanks for posting this.

    Floating head? Chest looks exaggerated. As well as all signs of being an actual person having been erased from her face and shadows added.

    Her eyes look almost demonic.

    My favorite is when the celebrity model appears in person standing in front of their photoshopped image. I always wonder why they aren't embarrassed about it.

    It is! If that person had those legs it would be hilarious to watch them walk. One leg would be 50 feet long & the other leg would be normal.

    I think I will show this thread to my step-daughter (12 y.o.). Yes, this will be good for her.
