Celeb Photos Are Edited

Take a look at this gorgeous picture of Model Elaine. Her hair is perfect, skin is flawless, even her posture & poise are perfect. She seems to have the perfect body, face, hair, and outfit!

Guess what? It’s clearly not a real photo. We enhanced it quite a bit. How?

We first took the hair and dress from a picture of Anna Kornikova. We tilted Elaine’s head to match the posture. We then ran her picture through a “skin smoother” in photoshop, adjusted the brightness and contrast. In the original picture, Elaine looked angry, so we lifted the eyebrows, and erased the somewhat-dark circles under her eyes. We made the nose a bit smaller, added colour to her lips, turned her lips into more of a smile rather then the frown that she originally had. We changed her eye color, and ran through another filter to make sure her hair and everything matched, and fit well together.

Altogether, the entire process took about three hours (including the time spent finding the perfect hair and dress to complement her look).

The picture does look a little fake as human skin is never quite this smooth, but just wait until you take a look at the original picture of the model to see how much a photo can be transformed to look like a totally different person.

Here is the original picture of Elaine:

As you can see, she is a beautiful girl already.

She is actually a professional model, and in this photo she has her hair and makeup done. However we wanted to give her a more modern and younger look.

She seemed to be very impressed with the final result.

This should hopefully change your ways of thinking when you see how much this image was altered – the same way many celebrities pics were altered!

So, next time you don’t feel pretty because your boyfriend is drooling over some “hot” celebrity in the movie you’re watching… don’t take it personally. Simply tell him that if you had the opportunity to, you would hang around a personal trainer all day – everyday… eat nothing… have hair and makeup professionals following you around… and have a video editor enhance and filter through every move you make to be sure that your boyfriend only sees those picture perfect frames of you. Because once you strip all those away from those “hot” celebrities and supermodels… what becomes of them? They’re just regular girls… a body made up of cells and molecules… just like the rest of us.
