Look at this - website that photoshops your pictures

[squeaver]

problem is the After shots look so, well, fake

Well then..... look ad the ad on the right...... you can wear a speedosculpture and make people believe that you have the body of a Hollywood actress! Same thing!.... chicken fillets... push up bras.... all part of the same world we live in!

Do you work for them, Sofia? How can you think it looks good?

rofl sofia - you don't happen to work for them do you?

it's so daft - people KNOW what you look like in real life!

Do you work for them Fernan? Hey at least we've increased traffic to your site.
And you sofia??

If not, Welcome to Mumsnet, because I see these are your first ever posts.

That blokes chest looks wrong to me..

I am entitled to an opinion..... I am just being realistic. Is this not a debate?

No, I do not work for them, I work for an airline in the marketing department. Want to see my payslip?

Which is more than can be said for the after pictures

hilarious

Oh hang on, I think I've changed my mind. here's a really good one I found on the site

and here's another one

What what a bag of bollocks.

As I said, it is easy to do at home, with better results. The VIP package promises to turn pictures black and white if you want. That is literally one click of the mouse.

photo shop hides everything

i think its a pretty fucking sad state of affairs when people want to photoshop their everyday photos.

We are expected to have shiney plastic skin these days.

Anyone else feel we are growing further and further away from REALITY when it comes to how women (or people) should look?!?

H
ow the hell are my daughters daughters going to feel about themselves if this continues to escalate??

Those are so not the work of "top fashion retouchers". I've seen the work of top fashion retouchers and the good ones produce really good results with natural-looking skin. The examples on that site (which are presumably their best work) are badly photoshopped in about ten minutes with over-smoothed skin. If the people who've done it are professionals at all (other than in the technical sense that you are giving them money to retouch your photos), they're the sort of professionals who turn out the hideously fake photos of Jordan on the front of OK!.

I could do a better job than those, and I am emphatically not a top fashion retoucher nor do I have one tenth of their skills.

And that's leaving aside the question of whether one should retouch.

Here's another one.

I have a fifteen year old daughter and I have showed her this site so see can see for herself that all the photographs she sees in the magazines are not real. Before and after examples are a great tool

before

after

my family covers a wide age range - and i am sure that more than one of us could benefit by a little tweaking - haven't we all had one of those piccies where bra strap shows or tummy not pulled in enough - or as in plenty of mine - some silly billy in background doing things they shouldn't. I for one will be having a closure look xx

Keep it coming ladies, you are cracking us up

If anyone really wants some light retouching doing, I'd be happy to do it for you without charging £10.80-£37.00
