Yeah that's interesting. I'd like to learn how to do better manipulation with Photoshop like that.
It's still kinda funny how women that are supposed to be super dope looking even aren't.
It's also funny that a few of the "before" pics actually look better to me.
Haha, yeah I saw that.
I've got a good airbrushing one though.

- spidey
The third pic is of Alicia - and she looks a lot better and less-cartoonish on the before. But hey - I guess some of us like the 'natural' look more ... whatev's.
There was an article I read in a magazine years ago that tried to trace a pre-dominance of homosexuality (no hate) in the fashion industry to the strange, often cartoonish images of women (exaggerated colours in make-up and buggin' out eyes and lips.) I think there's some truth there ...
one of the cats in my crew did this shit back in the day, sick airbrushing is tight...
It's interesting to see all the touchups of bellys and armpits, too.
holy fuck! welcome back homie! holler at a player with your new number and shit.
the higher up jeans make her ass look bigger.
Media-wise I think it is giving people (especially youngsters) a totally unrealistic idea of what they think they should be aspiring to, in the way they look at themselves and others.
But airbrushing as a..... err..... thing, is cool.
Its like:
Airbrushing........... cool.
The worldwide subconsious psychological knock-on effects of airbrushing in the media.......... naw mang.
............. I'll get my coat.
Anybody else notice that they consistently make Melyssa Ford's a$$ bigger?
I think it's added volume from the airbrusing that makes her ass look bigger, not the position of her jeans...
I like to picture this dude spending his days contemplating how to better accentuate black women's asses :
"I am the Bob Ross of this airbrush shit."
Yea, they deffinatly added some booty on this one. The thing that freaks me out is they smoothed out her rib cage so you don't think about the fact that so many of these girls starve themselves. but, really it's pretty sick that they think they have to make these people "look better". So many kids don't know how much of this goes on. And even people that say "oh that's just airbrushed" still get mind warped into thinking that people should really look this way. Plus, some of these girls seem to have real breasts but the air brush makes them look fake.
I'll never forget the first time I found out about air brushed photos. I went in for my senior pics and I told the guy I wanted to put it off a couple days cuz I had a massive zit on my check. He said "oh we airbrush everything anyhow so don't even worry about that." I was like "you can't be serious".
wow that's a trip, i didn't even realize. guess that's the beauty of airbrushing..
"We don't make mistakes here, we just have happy accidents. We want happy, happy paintings. Little bit of black, a little bit of blue.. some criss-cross strokes.. There you go, that nasty butt cleavage is all gone."
How did he turn this
into this
or better still, this
to this?!
its sucks when you find out beautiful people (no ayo) don't look exactly as they seem
Dudes are sleeping on these works right here
*applause*
It's so funny that everyone still calls it airbrushing. I mean, when was the last time air or brush had anything to do with touching up photos?
