Photoshop Fun

Jezebel.com commented on both of these things, but I want to draw them together in one place just to contrast them.

First of all, we have the Super-Photoshopped version of Michelle Obama on the cover of Good Housekeeping Magazine.

Then we have Marie Claire Magazine showing Jessica Simpson and bragging about "No makeup, no retouching!" Fascinating that these come out in the very same month. Interesting to see the two side by side.

One more of Jessica, just because I think she looks really good, this way. Of course, this still isn't "nature". It's all art, remember: the photographer, the designer, the editors--these images still came through layers and layers of "image-making process". But they're nice to see.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Eeeenteresting. An internet-specific photoshop disaster. The plot thickens, along with the pancake makeup.
