You might have heard people say that models, actors, and other celebrities often have their photos touched up a bit when they appear in print. Here’s a company that does it and some samples of their work. Click “Portfolio” and then check out the pictures at the bottom. Mouseover the full-size versions to see the originals. WOW. The famous, beautiful people look…human! Kinda like us! They have oily faces, freckles, bony hips, bags under their eyes, and all sorts of “unsightly” problems that magically disappear in PhotoShop. I find this work very cool from a technical standpoint but discouraging from a social perspective. No wonder so many people have so many issues with their own looks – they’re competing against people that don’t actually exist!
