Don’t Believe Your Eyes!

Posted on Feb 14 in Cute/Interestingby ApplePrint

Every girl in the magazine cover looks so perfect.  Every girl appears in the commercial media looks so gorgeous.   You start to compare your girlfriend and start to complaint how fat and ugly she is.  Please do not believe your eyes!  With the advancing technology available, almost nothing is impossible.

Remember the 200 pounds beauty? Kim Ah Joong undergo a plastic surgery in the movie.  You don’t have to go under a painful plastic surgery to become photogenic.

You think celebrities look good right? Even with some make up cover, there are still certain parts that can’t be covered up.  And this is where photo retouch is introduced.

Here are some before and after photos of celebrities.

Now you see that what Photoshop can do.  Not convinced yet? How about a pic of me?

Added some color contrast and my ultimate retouching skills….

Hey, that’s me in the pic..but you can see the difference comparing to the original…wahaha…

So, that’s the power of Photoshop.  Who said I have to own a very nice DSLR to take nice shots?

  There’s plenty more things that Photoshop can do. You can try to do some reading on your tutorial book and play around with it. Once you are familiar with it, it will be very fun. ^_^

  Hi Li,

  You’re most welcome. Keep an eye on the sequel which will be released in the future (don’t know when, yet)…but this time Kim Ah Joong will not be playing any role.
