Go watch this, especially if you have little girls (Warning: could be somewhat triggery for people with eating/body image disorders).

Also This one, which actually had me close to tears.

This one really did make me cry. I hate when that happens.

Weird, isn't it? I can't remember how or when, but once I came across a website for a photographic studio that specialises in hairbrushing pictures. It was bizarre. This woman who, lying on one side, had the tiniest roll of skin - couldn't even call it fat - on her hip had her waist reduced by a good inch, and then there was a group photo of Depeche Mode minus 80% of their wrinkles!

All pictures had a before and after example, presumably so you could see how convincingly these people could doctor any photograph. Scary.

Dude. I've SEEN that website. I wish I had the URL but del.icio.us didn't exist back when I saw it (what, a couple of years ago?)

I'd love to learn to DO this. Not to doctor photographs for the media, but to understand how it's done. And to make cool icons. *g*
