Shocking Touchups: Beauty is only Pixel Deep?
There are photo tweaks, and there are touch-ups, the latter having almost no limits in the digital world we live in. Glenn Feron is a master, and the results are stunning - so much so that you realize some of the famous people you think are beautiful are more normal looking thank you'd think. This site is definitely work a look to see how far a digital artist can push/pull reality.  WARNING: There are no nude images, but not all may be office/family friendly. |

:shocked!: Wow! I'm really impressed at the difference between the pictures. It's really incredible to see what a little (or a lot?) of photoshop work can do to an image.

I'm not surprised at all. My fiance is a professional makeup artist, and I retouch most of her images for her. You'd be amazed at how much work it takes to change some almost un-noticeable things, and the huge difference all those little changes make in the final image.
If you thought that guy was impressive, check out this one:

The stuff he does is scary.

That guy sure is a fan of the big BOOTIES!
Most look like paintings. Still impressive....but some don't look that great because they look too fake. Especially where he needed to do ALOT of work! Some needed as much work as possible....
...but Halle Berry and Alicia Keys didn't need any work at all. They're both HOT without the touchups. (Except I saw Alicia Keys on MTV Unplugged, recorded on my Scientific Atlanta DVR, and she's getting a bit thick down below...must be all that sitting at the piano!) Still beautiful though.  |

I have been guilty of modifying my own pics. Removing zits, blemishes and wrinkles. My wife thought I took it too far when I took a very cute picture of our daughter where she had a little something from inside her nose (if you know what I mean) and removed it digitally. The picture was perfect after that.
She thinks it is altering reality. I think as long as I keep touchups to a minimum its ok.

I'm a fan, too. :wink: :angel:
Ain't nothin wrong with Alicia being a bit thick. She looks good.
Oh yeah, and the touchups are amazing, too. :lol: |

I've done some touchups on pictures of my car, but nothing compared to what either of these artists have done. The most drastic thing I did was use the clone brush to create a field of flowers where my registration had been hanging on my windshield, and that only took a few minutes.
It would be insteresting to learn some of the techniques these guys use to remove blemishes and smoothen skin.

It's actually quite doable if you have patience. I'm trying to find a tutorial I saw somewhere once, but I can't seem to find it. :/ It was quite a detailed one and showed the amazing amount of work one can do in touching up.
