mmmmn poorly photoshopped legs, my favourite. saying that, i really like some of the clothes. the one pair of shoes that aren't boots are verrrry covetable.
i'm sorry if i come off as rude but i think you should realize that it's fashion photography and photoshop is one of the things you have to expect in every editorial/photoshoot you are going to see, besides special no photoshop editions like latest jessica simpson's just for example. it's absolutely normal and frankly if people wouldn't like such "lies" they wouldn't buy all these magazines (not to mention clothes but i don't want this comment to be an essay) and yet somehow fashion magazines are around for years so i don't really see what is your problem here. it's goddamn 2010 and not 1999 and yes people are indeed using photoshop. it's all about the money and trust me, beautiful, skinny and smooth people are selling better than anything else at least when it comes to the so called fashion world so please get over it and go study photoshop some more so that maybe nico could hire you in the future as his imperial photoshopper.
Oh of course I do. I'm not stupid. I know that to sell clothes we have to encourage higher and higher beauty standards and fill magazines and other media with doctored images that promote unrealistic body shapes. Of course! Before we had Photoshop nobody sold clothes or shot lovely editorials at all. We should be thankful that we can cut an inch off a beautiful woman's thighs to make her look more beautiful. If we can make her waist smaller than her head while we're at it, then great.
Sarcasm aside, isn't it slightly scary to you that some of the amazingly stunning women who work as models still aren't perceived to be good enough?
(And picking up your point about celebs going untouched, Britney's nonphotoshopped image got a pretty positive reaction from what I saw. If that was the case, why is it needed to 'shop her the rest of the time?)
Before Photoshop, we airbrushed our ladies, and sold lovely fashion editorials too. I don't think that high fashion editorials are seen as particularly real in the general masses. People will establish beauty/body image issues from fantasy as well as reality.
yeah, it's really not impossible for these things to occur naturally (specifically the second example) - that last example from the other edit however......... :/
