If you look better BEFORE photoshop, then the Randi Prize should be awarded to these women for proof of the supernatural.

I think all of them look better in the 'before' pic. Except Madonna; I don't want to look at her at all :eek:

Madonna looks like a skeleton waiting to happen.

To be honest those are pretty ham-fisted 'shops there - what is this site tying to prove? If you let your dog lose on Photoshop the results aren't all that good? Where did they get the 'fore and after pictures from?

Two remarks:

1) I hate it when pages like this assume that I can recognize celebrities all on my own. In particular female celebrities do appear very different on shoots like this (fashion style) than from paparazzi photos, TV appearances or movie roles. Please add a name associated which pictures, gorrammit!

2) Most of these appear to be professional photos with a professional amount of photoshopping being applied on the 'before' images. The 'after' images, however, are hamfisted, amateurish, exaggerated badness. Plus, the 'after' images have vastly different objectives in mind. For instance, most of them are just extremes of blurring applied, but #10 and #12 have extreme color changes. Neither is necessarily good or bad (though I find most of the 'before' images more appealing than the 'after'). It all depends on what the images are used for (billboard vs. magazine title vs. centerfold vs. webpage etc.).

Some radio DJ was talking about how stringy she's become. He said "She looks like a grilled chicken." My wife and I couldn't stop laughing.

All the photoshopped versions look plastic, the 'before' pictures look like women.
I like women. I even went as far as marrying one of them.

One of the makeup commercials airing now offers "that perfectly airbrushed look". The goal seemingly an absolutely perfect and uniform flesh tone with no variations whatever.

Most folks don't look like that....

A few years ago, someone put up a cover shot from Cosmo of Michelle Pfieffer. Not an unattractive lady... Then they put up the "original" shot with the instructions to the photo editor. "More hair here, remove this, blend that, etc, etc. Quite a list.
