Thats pretty crazy when you see the change graphically illustrated like that. It’s no suprise, its just not often that you see the before and after with celebrities.
My PS capabilities aren’t even remotely close. I’m still strugling to understand and use layer mask 🙂
I get a lot of retouching work now by showing before and after using layers in Photoshop.
The trick with celebs is to keep some reality in the retouched stuff.
I find a lot of the work you see in the magazines goes to far and looks fake, womens mags are the worst for it.

A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
In the hands of a true artist, makeovers are great and retouches are a value added proposition. I also agree that most of the retouching, in the fashion mags, is way overdone and looks extremely fake.. Seems that a new short cut is the favorite choice: Create a new masking layer and copy the face, then add a tremendous amount of Gaussian blur. After this is done, they simply use the erase tool on the lips and eyes, then move onto the brushes… It was once said; “The camera never lies” I submit that it still doesn’t but the software has a difficult time with keeping the truth ..l 😉 I am all for retouching and photographic art but completly recreating a fashion model to a plastic apperance is a bit of a stretch…
Here is an easy to follow tutorial and fine example of the works. Â :-Xlol… Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knEIM16NuPg
On a related note-
I,ve noticed that I’m doing more and more dodging/burning/masking looking for some added subtlties of late. Was curious how much post beyond levels/curves folks on the board are playing with?
