Photoshop Epiphany

Yesterday I was floating around online, and I stumbled on some funny photoshop tutorial videos on YouTube. The videos featured some great insights into PS, as well as some comical dialogue about his failing marriage and the fact that he hasn't been able to poop in a week. It's obviously scripted, but it's hilarious nonetheless.

*Edited Monday* Here is the search results on YouTube so you can learn too! -

Anyway, one the the videos featured the main tool used in editing the human body and face, most importantly, making human figures and lines look more "ideal" to contemporary society. Remember the Dove commercial with the model's face being edited for a billboard? This is the stuff, only slowed down so a novice like me could attempt to figure it out. I've tried some faces of people I know since I have their photos in my archive and I have to say it wasn't bad for a first-timer. I might have successfully removed 20lbs. off some people.

I want to do an experiment to see just how far I can take "body-editing." I texted LP and she seems to be down. She keeps saying she wants to lose some weight... why not see how much is too much haha.

Of course, I do not mean to be disrespectful and hope that everyone understands this is all in good fun.

Any other takers?
