Don’t Believe Your Eyes (When You’re at the Newsstand)

Learn what any Photoshop expert already knows.

I know how to do many of these tricks, but I always find it ridiculously time-consuming. I’m sure the real experts get much quicker at it, but I still got a chuckle out of their admonition: “Do not compare yourself to someone who has gone through twenty hours of retouching.”

Sometimes it’s a fun twenty hours! And part of what’s most fun is striving for the convincing illusion of realness … the very thing that can be harmful when it comes to women’s self-images.

So kudos to whoever put together this little demonstration.
