    the Ralph Lauren one makes me laugh every time because it is so, so, so ridiculous to turn a model into Gumby

    The t-shirt in the Jennifer Aniston Redbook cover looks like it came from clip art. I hate when they just change the color of tops without changing the photo, I find it really distracting on retailers websites, and terrible on a cover.

    "It is meant to make women inspire to look their best"

    If best is photoshopped arms and legs, then I beg you SELF, do tell me where to buy a photoshop machine to "perfect" real humans...

    The Beyonce cover shocks me becaue Russia is a pretty racist country. If was walking around St. Petersburg with other American students who happened to be black or latino we would get stopped by the police All. The. Time. Even when we weren't speaking English! But this very white country darkened Beyonce's skin. Yay? WTFDR.

    There's a fine line with retouching. I work on a lot of photoshoots, and when it comes to the finished product, if a hair is out of place or our model got a zit on her chin the night before, um yeah, I'm going to adjust that in post. But I certainly don't believe that altering someone so that they're not even themselves anymore is acceptable. Kate Winslet looks gorgeous in that unretouched shot. Her figure is perfect as it is. My favorite local model is this beautiful tall size 8-10 pin up. And if her makeup looks uneven or she has a blemish, I'm absolutely going to adjust that in post-production. But man, I'd never have any interest in changing her figure or making her look like anyone other than her gorgeous self. I'd never want to.

    I'm sorry, I'm too busy laughing at the headline on Kelly Clarkson's Self cover: "Sexier Sex Tonight!"

    What makes sex sexier? More sex! And Photoshopping!

    *note: After that King Arthur poster and another chest enhancing (Chanel) ad, Keira Knightley was upset and refused any cleavage alterations or body distortions on publicity photos for her films since such as "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", "Atonement", "The Duchess", etc

    She's said on that matter, that they "airbrush the f--- out of me! It's not me, it's something other people have created."

    Nothing disturbs me like the Ralph Lauren image, I thought it was a sick joke some kid did. And I do this for a living. My instructions tend to arrive in the form of that Faith Hill picture with some lines drawn in where they want the body parts to end.

    This is one of those times when I regret not having saved my desktop content from previous jobs.. I worked for a celeb lifestyle mag where Rosario Dawson made cover girl in 2005, and our editorial director totally instructed the digital retoucher on staff to diminish her "wide African nose." I almost punched her in her own schnoz for that, but alas--the cover that ran in print included a significantly thinned Dawson nose bridge. (Noone on Dawson's PR side complained, BTW, even though the cover photo as it ran looked eerily unlike Dawson.)

    I'd spill the full details if only I had the jpegs to back it up.

    I truly don't understand how that Ralph Lauren ad was ever approved. She looks like one of those creepy Steve Madden (or was it Skechers?) girls from like 10 years ago with the tiny bodies and huge heads.

    I still cannot believe that photo of Filippa Hamilton ever made it to press. Anyone gifted with the ability to see can tell that shot is ridiculous. There seems to have been no attempt to make her look like a human girl, much less a woman. Part of me really thinks someone was actively trying to create something that looked like a caricature.

    @vivianthelibrarian: The only way my brain can accept that photo is if I imagine that the photoshopper had a crisis of conscience and decided to do a satirical photoshop job. Because it hurts me to think that someone actually thought that looked good.
