Magazine Photoshop efforts

[Paul]

A plus-sized model curious about global perception of beauty decided to give her photograph to 21 different editors around the world to see how they would use Photoshop to 'perfect her.'
Colombian-American Maria Southard Ospina told the various editors to 'fix' a woman of her size while upholding the ideals of beauty in their country.
Ospina was surprised to discover that in today's weight conscious world, just three out of 21 editors made her appear noticeably thinner.

Very interesting to see the "beauty codes" of many different countries.

Thanks for posting that, Paul. This type of international make-over seems to be getting more popular. Remember ... we had one of those here on PSG several months ago. As I recall, when it had nearly run its course, Chris compiled all the variations into a nice presentation.

Cheers,
