    Thanks to everyone posting comparisons....they really are eye opening (not that I wasn't aware, but the depth of it is unbelieving!)

    Freaky smooth knees and armpits and elbow, and a slimmer middle, oh and they stretched her neck. I keep finding more things and editing this post. lol

    I wonder if celebrities think of themselves as those perfect Photoshopped versions of themselves because that's what they see in photos most of the time, or do you think they are shocked when they see edited versions of themselves with teeny waists and Barbie doll legs?

    If it was me, I would hate it. But I would hate most things about being a celebrity so it's hard to say.

    To me though it would make it really difficult to go out in public, knowing that people who see you are expecting you to look like a magazine cover.

    I can usually spot something that is photoshopped, but can't say how exactly. Nice to have it explained and pointed out exactly, thank you!

    Bwahaha! So, let me get this straight.... the trend is to make black women look lighter, but black men look darker? What's up with that?

    In case you are serious... here's my guess. The darkened skin vs the brightened lighting (note the light parts are MUCH lighter) makes the muscle definition look more dramatic, due to higher contrast. In real life, fitness people get tanned, oil up, and go under bright lights for the very same reason.

    But, on a woman (unless it's a fitness shot) they usually want a smoother look, so they'd lighten up the skin tone to reduce contrast.

    I'm so glad everyone is seeing how absurd it is... and hopefully seeing their REAL bodies as beautiful the way it is, especially those who have met their fitness goals and still aren't satisfied. Weightloss should have a light at the end of the tunnel and this stuff would rob all of us of that if it could.

    This is fascinating-I'm with others I can look at pictures and think something isn't quite right, but having the changes pointed out makes it much clearer!
