This is cool in a way, scary in a another.
The problem is that after seeing these photoshopped pictures for years, you start to believe that people with flawless skin exist. This makes real people with real, human ‘flaws’ appear to look bad.
I know this type of photo retouching has been going on since way before Photoshop, but it seems to create an ideal that doesn’t exist. I guess the argument could be made that retouching pictures is art.
I have mixed feelings about it.

OK, this is actually “After & Before” photos, not the other way around.
The retouching is understandable in some – in others (especially the last one)
I much prefer the original.

The last one’s original is definitely better.. Why is there a need to create flawless, perfect skins and so on? Who wants that? We? Celebrities, themselves? The media?

some of those originals look just as hawt, just have a little contrast which is understandable. Photography to compliment an ad or article needs to be eye catching. Some of it is just scary, thats some really really bad skin. Damn!

These photos will help alot with my assignment on body image and teenage girls. They can see that flaws are normal. Body image is a huge concern of teenage girls of today. Most girls believe that skinny is fashionable and they admire celebrities and women for being thin. This has lead girls going to extremes to look like these women. We are held hostage to our cultural standards of beauty, which at best is totally unrealistic and at its worst, enslaves us. It is impossible these days to pick up a magazine or watch TV without getting the message that the ideal beauty is skinny, successful, energetic, young, Caucasian, wealthy and flawless. It is like we have been brain washed into accepting unrealistic standards of beauty.
Thank you to who ever made this website…. xo

I don’t believe in what you do. Making someone beautiful is the responsibility of the man behind the camera. If you can’t do that then you need to go back to lighting and composition classes. Everyone is beautiful, you don’t need photoshop for that.
Wock said
December 8, 2007 @ 2:53 pm
Honestly, for most of the pictures I prefer the original – just ’cause I hate the really fake skin look on people. It makes them look like fake little Barbie Dolls. I don’t get why they feel the need to remove freckles, either. Freckles look adorable!

In the spirit of crediting folks for their work, the source for these images is the portfolio of:
http://www.iwanexstudio.com/
The difference between before/after is especially notable when you view it on their site, where you mouse over the “after” image to see the “before” and the reshaping becomes obvious.
My day job is with a non-profit youth program, and I share this link with others who work with young people as a teaching tool re: body image & the “unreality” of the media.

first of all lets look at color and lighting. White people are going to be red/peach/pale. white people dont look good infromt of the cam anyway. you cant hide zits, scars, ect on white skin. so dont be surprise when you see this . they are people just like you and I . With the right software (photoshop CS3) you can do anything. I have a picture of my 3 year old kid holding up and full grown elephant.
Black/ tan skin is much better to work with.

Interesting, I always love to see the before and after photos with touchups. Man, people are so fake, and most of the time the original looks better, especially the last one. Why would anyone want to cover up her adorable freckles? Her skin already looks smoother than a baby’s butt.
Some of them look pretty amateur, though. (Again, especially the last one, also on the man’s face.) It looks so over-brushed that it the face loses dimension and depth and looks completely fake, flat, and cheesy.

I like the two where they actually fattened up the actresses a bit because they were looking a little too skeletal. (Julia Stiles got a little more curve to the back and the lady in thigh highs on the couch had some muscle added to her arms.)
Christine said

I am an aspiring photographer and have been working with Photoshop for a number of years now. Sometimes it is necessary to use Photoshop to correct the image as a whole, not just so people can look better than what they are.

I do Photoshop (actually the free program The Gimp) but I use it to restore very old photographs that have become scratched, stained, aged, spotty etc. It is amazing how one can re-create an 80 year old photo and make it like new or better. I do nothing to touch up faces or bodies though, only to remove blemishes from damage.
I also agree with Fred, using graphics programs for re-touching is not in any way a replacement for a good photo to begin with. It is a repair tool, not an art tool, though some may consider some PS art of a kind.

About the last 2 photos i have to say that i prefer the “before” photo instead of the “after”. They try to hard to express perfection and they end up ruining what is natural beauty.

a lot of these photos look different simply because of a contrast boost. it’s hard to believe that all of the original photos have such dull colors. that’s a little bizzare to me.
the retouch of naomi watts barely looks like her. i actually needed the original to tell who it was.

Funny, I couldn’t tell who Naomi Watts was in the “after” photo either. The girl in the last “before” photo is beautiful, but who is she? I’m betting she’s like 15… or maybe she just takes care of herself like Snew said. Anyway, seeing pre-photoshop photos is really encouraging. I remember being a teenager and trying to figure out how these magazine models had NO pores; it sucks when you try to measure up to something that doesn’t exist. I say we boycott fake and forced “beauty” and learn to appreciate the rest of the human being.

Body image isn’t just restricted to teenagers . all ya have to do is look at the multi million dollar plastic surgery industry to understand that. Its a shame ya cant photoshop kindness and understanding

I knew that practicly ALL the photos in the mags were photoshoped, but now that I have seen all those before and afters, it just shows how much they are done up! I never thought they did it that much! I am in general shock! This is why so many men and women are insecure, if all those photoshoped pictures stayed as they were, what they really were, people would be less insecure, they would still be insecure with there own problems but it would help if the pictures were kept the same.
I am sure people will agree will me, unless there the ones getting Photoshoped!

But using pictures of celebs and models that have been touched up in magazines is wrong and portrays the wrong inmage to young in heavily influenced minds.

I’m apparently not alone in my freckle outrage. What is with the fashion industry’s hatred of freckles? Is it an unspoken ‘No Irish Allowed’ policy or what?
On the other hand, it’s kind of cheering to see that almost any woman could be in a magazine, since the picture won’t REALLY be of you anyway. I mean, why should my wide hips and asymmetrical eyes keep me from modeling if a little Photoshopping can just fix them? :p

now after seeing this it questions if they did the same kinda thing to Proactiv commercials with Jessica Simpson.

successful career for herself and has travelled to some of the worlds most

I prefer women with little to no makeup on. Whomever the last girl is…I prefer the untouched photo of her. Freckles are sexy. So called “flaws” are sexy.
The media tends to place stigmas on what beauty is. Teenaged girls and women alike read these magazines and watch these movies and look at these photographs and ultimately think that the world will accept them if they look like the FABRICATED women that they see plastered all over the place.
Be who you are, ladies. Show your flaws. If someone does not accept you 100% then tell them to go fuck themselves.

Also the last girl looks like an alien when she’s been touched up whereas before she looks cute. Fashion magazines really need to tone it down. I like pretty I don’t like perfect

Yea, Its good to know that I’m not the only one who thinks the last picture looks waaaay better untouched. I only started reading the comments because I was wondering if I was alone on that. Guess not. Someone should forward these to her.

they create a pictureperfect wich all the people seem to believe.
this is why girls (and boys) like you and I still have problems with their selfesteem.
most of that people already are naturel beauty’s but no;
they photoshop the hell out of them!
See, I learned not to care about what people think or say,
I guess that’s pretty much the only way to survive in this crazy world.

This makes my job as a working actress who hasn’t “made” it yet THAT much harder. The casting directors themselves forget that these photos were photoshoped, and except real people to meet these unbelievable standards, so how are real people ever supposed to get hired?
My take on it said
August 29, 2009 @ 10:34 am
WOW. just WOW.
I agree with what pretty much everyone has said.
When people (especially kids, who are hurt so much by this) see all of this, they believe that this is the norm and then try to duplicate those looks on their bodies and faces. It’s really freaky to see how different it all looks once you take a look at the before and after photos.
I saw a couple of you say, “I feel a lot prettier now!” I know what you mean! When people see those pictures, even if you make a vow not to let it bother you, it’s a subconscious impact that takes place in our brains. I really think that everyone should be reminded of this photoshopping thing from time to time, because I’ve seem this damage so many lives and waste so much time.
My take on it

Photoshop is such an amazing piece of software, and people who retouch photos in the way which was demostrated on this page are artists – I truly believe that. Anyone who has anything negative to say about Photoshop, or it’s use in media publications, is clearly insecure with themselves.
Everrette said
September 7, 2009 @ 11:15 pm
I think that most of them there didnt really need the extra touch up because not everyone is perfect so why should they be edited to fit some stuck up womans opinion or how they dress. Just because you dont look like them doesnt mean your not hot, pretty or glamorous. Thats just a stereotype when someone says there pretty, they meen someone they have seen in a magazine that might of well just worn loads of industrial foundation and tons of lip gloss. Also editing them makes others feel bad on how they look and they go to lengthy extremes just to slightly look like them when perfection like that is unreal.

the people who get touched up look unnatural, they look fake – it does not appeal to me, and like others have said people who are touched up in magazines make people who hav flaws feel worse about themselves and envy that particular celebs skin/face/body, etc.
its not real, and i think celebs need to wake up.
even tho some photoshop pics look good, however it is a big fat lie
John said
October 15, 2009 @ 6:57 am
many of he images where just poor photography in the first place, a good number of them where under exposed which would cause a lack of contrast. Every image had a heavy contrast bump.
Lighting is key know what to lights/modifiers to use to get a look/feel is important, too many time on a shoot you will here just fix in PS, PS is evil!!!!
Get it right in the camera!
Jeremy said
October 16, 2009 @ 9:52 am
Well you’re sort of right Dave. It’s scary, yeah…. but it’s not in the slightest bit cool. I suppose it’s now too late for most developed societies to undo, but we have all been taught that us regular joes are just disgusting skin bags, and that we ought to hide ourselves away for not looking like people on magazine covers.
I think these pics are really good – for showing that even all those supposedly aesthetically perfect people sprawled across the latest style mags have EXACTLY the same gripes with their skin, complexion, and body fat that the rest of us do. I’m not sure why the photoshopping is really necessary as all them girls look pretty nice anyway.

No real mention of the only guy, Matthew MacFaydden, in all these comments? He is a great actor and extremely handsome to me, but I can certainly understand a promo advert for a new play or telly show he is in to use the photo-shopped picture to remove the spots. It’s what folks expect. If you’re promoting a sleek new BBC drama you want the actors to appear larger/better than reality!
Besides, in his before picture he looks as though he hasn’t slept (or just woke up.) I still think he’s sexy in it because it’s natural.

Ok, to all you who say they prefer the originals…The only better original here is the last one. I’m just wondering, why are you even on this page? because, i admit I have low confidence and need these pics to see I’m not the only one who has imperfections. That’s why I’m here. People who “prefer” the originals are liars. You wouldn’t wanna watch this if you didn’t wanna see celebrities can be ugly too, just to make yourselves feel better. I don’t know why people just can’t be honest!!! We can’t see ya here, you don’t have to feel embarassed!! lol

its just disgusting,it seems that in reality we r much better n beautiful than them ‘cuz we don’t have 2 use make up n need retouch.i was so shocked after i saw their real snap,as i came 2 know that they r not angle n God gifted, its all fake when they r on the screen n magazine.Girls its better not 2 use cosmetic ‘cuz it shows the result later,like this.

Elizabeth said
January 7, 2010 @ 3:30 pm
Hmm. You know, now that I think about it, I feel sort of bad for these models. These pictures are taken of them — and then the very things that make these women who they are get completely wiped out. How must that feel? Do they ever wonder why it is that they’re not good enough — why they need “improvement?” Hmm. It’s a thinker.

The retouching in most of these images are not done well really. Cleaned faces while having pores retained is manageable people! Look up the retoucher Bianca. I can’t remember her last name right now but I believe it’s european.

Wow did you see Cameron Diaz’s stomach before the Photoshop?this thing really does help but its fake so whats the point of doing this shit.Maybe if it was just to cover a pimple that is going away eventually or a scar but the Freckles and the wrinklles???that is something that they should leave to show they still look beautiful the way they are!!

Ha they even touch up the colors on the clothing. Between Barbie and Photoshop, even beautiful women feel ugly. The obsession with everyone must be 20 years old their whole life is not helping either. Maybe being to old and ugly to give a crap is a huge pressure release lol
Mary Hannah said

Seems to me people are so obsessed with perfection, that all the little people (us) can’t possibly live up to these altered standards of beauty. I don’t know about anyone else, but i don’t take a perfect picture every time, and i sure as hell don’t look like that, so it made me feel good to realize that all the glossies in the magazines aren’t really…real…
maybe i’m not so ugly???

Had a friend who worked airbrushing photos for Playboy in the 1970′s and 80′s, long before PC’s and Photoshop. Had another friend in the 1960′s (yes, I’m old) that repainted photos for high school yearbooks and photos, etc., he “painted” out the flaws. Throughout the centuries (no, I’m not that old), portrait painters usually tried to make the subject look better than real life — some because they were paid to do so, and some because they felt the “impression” was a better depiction of the persona – impressionism of sorts. And since the invent of cinema, soft lenses and controlled lighting have been used to make the lead actress look great – again, impressionism. So when it comes to film art, it’s one thing, but when it comes to Hollywood star-making and marketing, we all know it’s an outright lie for fame and $$$$, right? Some actors are in full participation, and don’t object to the fame or their fat salaries, right? and as consumers we, to some degree, participate in the lie by giving them our money, attention, and adulation. Right?
katie said
April 4, 2010 @ 6:17 am
Some of these are scary, but some (for example Cameron Diaz and Julia Stiles) don’t need any photoshop, or even look better without it.
But what do we want? Not many people can actually be as perfect as they look in magazines.

This didn’t really make me feel better about myself in any way as they all look pretty much exactly the same without the airbrushing, & in most cases actually look better without the airbrushing.
So now I feel worse.
Oh well…

Wow, that was really inspiring. I am someone who is trying out the acting thing, but I have some scarring on one side of my cheek from a really bad bout of acne a few years ago. It lasted several months. It just wouldn’t go away. I finally had to go to a dermatologist who helped get rid of it, but it left me with permanent scarring. I have been really concerned about that, especially being female, but this site has showed me that I can still be successful without flawless skin. Thank you for showing this to me! Now, I don’t have to be so worried!

August 4, 2010 @ 11:00 am
I’ve done this kind of work myself. These are all pretty bad work that any well funded magazine would frown upon. Color /contrast is a normal adjustment. Images often look too dark or just flat when you’re viewing an unadjusted raw file or scan. Those kind of adjustments are necessary especially so that it won’t print looking even more dull on cheap magazine stock. The other adjustments are just bad examples. On most of these they destroyed all shape in the face on the altered versions. No shape to the lower eyelids or cheeks/jaw. Orange and green casts in blonde hair. These are simply bad.

If they had better lighting in the studios they wwere taking the pics in then a lot of these pictures wouldn’t be a problem. They all looked good before to me. Beyonce looked good… so she had a small little gut. She’s still beautiful. The freckle girl was uncalled for… though she was gorgeous before. Brittney murphy was unrecognizable before the photo shop.
