That is awesome! I love their campaign..even though I'm sure they touch up their models as well.

After I learned photoshop I definitely looked a lot more critically at all the images in the media...it's amazing what you can do with that program.

Yeah, it is interesting. When I worked at the "magazine for men" I saw this all of the time. They would shave inches off of a girls thighs, trim up their nether region, etc. I remember one magazine that actually went to print where the graphic artist "touched up" a nether region so much he erased her "lady line". She looked like an alien!! That poor girl.

I've seen this before somewhere...while I know that the models aren't as perfect as they look... I wish the rest of the world knew that, too. The rest of the world is the part I'm worried about thinking I'm ugly or not!

Photoshop is pretty amazing, though. Recently we took a big family picture of my dad's side of the family, with my dad's camera. He brought the pictures home to me and we used photoshop to doctor them up a little bit - we put people into the picture who weren't there originally, and I made myself look a bit better
