... Along comes this example using Kelly Clarkson (again!).
Jezebel alerted us to this website for iWANEX Studio, a retouching company. In fairness, the retouching studio is only doing it's job - supplying digitally manipulated photos to the demand of their clients - photographers, magazines, publicists, film companies, etc. However, this is still a rather eye-opening experience. By simply rolling your mouse over an image on their website you can see how they've retouched images for celebrities including Beyonce, Eva Longoria, Justin Timberlake, Lindsay Lohan plus more.
As you can see from the above images of Clarkson, in some pictures they don't just touch up the blemishes or a stray hair, they can also dramatically decrease body size and that's where I throw my hands up in despair. In the image on the right, Clarkson has certainly dropped a dress size (or two).
While this may make me angry through my teeth, the least I can do is shed some light on how it's done. So that perhaps the next time you open a magazine you might remember these images and not take what you see on the page as the real deal.
