After researching this subject I found it amazing what Photoshop could do to average looking women. In fact I didn't realise the extent of the use of Photoshop tools used on allot of the models we see on billboards and magazine covers. Even the most beautifully perfect super model has retouching done to her photographs to make her look that much more perfect. I do not necessarily agree with what is going on in the fashion industry at the moment , because the power of Photoshop in this day and age can transform women who are , lets just say not very pleasant to look at , into a sexy model look-a-likes worthy of being on a magazine cover. Also it is projecting a false image and message to all women that this is what they should look like ; by using a very powerful and influential form of media. However, having said that they are are nice to look at ! I added a link and used images from a demo on this site showing the before and after shots of magazine cover model .
