Airbrushing: Celebrities Before and After
Everyone strives to be perfect, me included. I paintshop my pictures but I do this because I want to look better but I don't really mind the way I look, but I just want to say some things about before and after photoshopped pictures.
Would you have taken a second glance at the picture without it being photoshopped? In the "perfect" version you would definitely feel very envious, but in the natural one is there really much to envy? I'm sorry but there isn't. Is there?
Now what would you have said if the original picture was the real cover of something? Madonna doesn't really still look as young as she did and doesn't look perfect, at all. In the photoshopped picture she actually looks very fake, but I guess fake is in.
Doesn't she look like a normal girl in the original picture? Just like one of us? But in the photoshopped picture she has no imperfections and yes, does look pretty but who wouldn't be able to tell it's been photoshopped? Unless you are of course unrealistic and actually think someone can look like that.
Would the natural picture appeal to you? Would it? No it wouldn't, but the photoshopped one would. Where her skin is all of a sudden perfect and the picture is a very vibrant color.
Would you have wanted to look at the first image of a tired, shabby-looking Britney? No. But the second one where she's perfect looking and the picture is so vibrant and colorful.
Okay, so looking at these 5 pictures - what do you think of them un-photoshopped and photoshopped?

omg madonna...
now i will no longer envy complexions.
damn madonna is getting scary.
britney's worst
Oh god, the one of Britney looks so heartbreaking
lol.
God, the difference between the pictures of Madonna is seriously at least 30 years...
whoa
i could see if they eliminate a few wrinkles or embarassing blemishes, but they really go overboard!
it's like plastic surgery on the computer!
Wow, Im going to go google more of these now. Sometimes I catch myself saying, "Oh, I wish I could have skin or hair like that person", but now its like "No, those people are totally airbrushed"
eeeeech! i don't photoshop my pictures, but i do make the colors more vibrant.
I think the original one of Kiera is beautiful
I always love when raw pics get out! I do this for fun with friends pictures sometimes, touch up photos I mean.
Wow..just...wow.
It's no question that the retouched ones look better.
Celebs have crazy high standards to live up to, they want to look perfect and let's face it the public wants them to look perfect as well. I think all of those original pictures are pretty but there not just not the glossy star image so they get retouched, that's just how it is...
All I do is color/lighting correction and hot spot removal. I can't stand people trying to look like mannequin.
Kiera magically grew tits! Brittney became sober in an instant! Madonna...kinda looks like an ailen! 0_o
whoaaaa
Where did you find these? I'm always looking for before and after photoshop pics like these, because I know there is NO WAY those people are that perfect IRL.
They should airbrush ME.
Madonna?? looks granny *sobx*
i think the 4th person looks really pretty without the airbrush effect xD
Photoshop is stupid. And to the trained eye, you can see right through it. In my opinion, it makes everyone look worse. Like some little china doll waiting to eat your brains out at night.
Madonna and Britney look gross
Britney Murphy, however, looks way cute (photoshop or no)
