I'm no Alba fan, but the unphotoshopped photo is totally bangin'! More so than the chop job IMHO.

Cue screaming?

What might be good is for ladies who online date to put these up next to their pictures and direct the no-bigger than-a-size-zero requisite type men to "please adjust expectations accordingly. Thank you."

I feel like I'm playing that video game they have at bars where you see two pictures and then you have to click on each part that is different from the original. What's the name of that game?

@rollergirl76: @jenNOfur: Yes, Playboy Erotic Photo Hunt. I love that game. But, inevitably, some dude will come up from behind and start shouting out the answers and/or starting TOUCHING my screen!!

that's when the bitch comes out, directly relating to how many drinks I have or have not had.

maybe they should have picked a more flattering onesie to begin with? Not only does she have cameltoe, its all loose around her hips!

@booboolee:

Creating an entirely new model out of a series of available lines and dots would be easier than finding a truly flattering onesie. Trust.

@water baby: Now I can't take my eyes off of it. But seriously...the hair, the face, the cleavage...all looked better in the original. She looked like this soft, naturally sensuous woman and they turned her into a plastic glob of ugliness.

Why does Tyra yell at the ANTM girls not to lose their necks if someone is just going to photoshop it out anyway?

When you think about it, Photoshop and the digital SLR are going to be the death of the high-end fashion photographer. Why pay a lot of money, when some assistant with a digital camera can take some adequately posed shots that are simply going to be Photoshopped to death?

And the ultimate thing, for me, is that if you get out of the "thinner is always better" idea that is pounded into our heads all the time, she actually looks MUCH better in the first picture.

No that they haven't committed horrible crimes with photoshop, but aren't those two different photos to begin with?

@Macloserboy: It looks like they used elements of the pose from the first picture, removed the background, changed the lighting and contrast, and pasted on a different head. I think it's still Alba's head. Probably.

Skeleton with boobs. Although the lighting does look better, I'd say.

I think the odds were kind of stacked against her when she agreed to pose in a little white strapless tube top...onesie. Thing. There are some things that no amount of Photoshop Magic can fix, Alba, and those things are called "tiny white strapless catsuit onesie things."

Also, see how, to the right of the "normal" picture, you can see how the side of Alba's breast kind of gracefully turns into her armpit? Like, you can kind of see the side of her ribcage curving up to become her arm?

And the manipulated photo played so fast-and-loose with adding deep shading to make her look bony and interesting that they COMPLETELY FORGOT TO MAKE HER LOOK HUMAN.

What is this? WHAT IS THIS STRANGE SIDEBOOB THEY HAVE GIVEN HER. Y'know how, when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail?

All I have is food jokes.

They also moved her head and changed her facial expression. This is sick. Why not just draw her instead of going through the charade of a photo shoot?
