The Art of DeTouch

The Art of DeTouch is a really neat website that shows the steps taken to enhance photos of models and public figures. It has pictures of models, singers, and even public figures. It shows the original image and the steps taken to enhance that image in photoshop or other programs. The site shows how every imperfection is fixed and changed so that the picture comes out perfect. Not only do they retouch skin imperfections but they also change proportions. They actually go in and electronically fix proportions of the body, making models skinnier and boobs bigger.

I really appreciated this site because it showed what these public figures and models really look like. Not everyone looks as perfect as they appear in magazines. This site showed the steps taken to achieve these unrealistic perfect looks. Most women do have stretch marks, cellulite, and imperfect skin, but we never get to see that in public images. Not all men have perfect abs and a perfect skin tone. A lot o them in fact, have only digital abs. I really liked this website and I think that if more people looked at it then a lot of self esteem issues would be resolved.
