Photoshopping barbie girls
polycounter lvl 18
so i was checking out graphic books a barnes and noble and i see a book titled "How to photoshop girls" so im thinking its a character book,but when i opened it i realized it was a book to well photoshop girls, for magazines,models etc.
i checked out a turorial inside and the CD included gave you a picture of a girl,she looked good but you could he she had the flaws everyone has, i flip the page and they show a picture of a nekkid barbie doll and that was the goal. the whole tut went through took out wrinkles,scars,gave her bigger breasts,shaved a few pounds off her hips and in the end the final result was way different,basiclly a barbie doll,like you see on fashion dolls.
i knew pictures on magazines were photoshopped but to this extreme i didnt think it would be

I guess men are easier to photograph and alter, so we don't need a book?

You wouldn't believe how people expect themselves to look in photographs.
Ordered the book of Amazon =]
Yeah...Beauty Photo retouching is something I do all day at my work.

It's funny, she's such a small woman in person, seeing her without all the trappings. Not what I expected from the movies. Very friendly too.
That's one of the four theories of how the media affect people and apparently not accepted as the universal truth. Of course I believe that at least half of those theories are utter bullshit (circle of silence? Yeah, like people would shut up just because they know nothing about a subject).
