It's hard to say if it's PSing or airbrushing though. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 13:05 18
- These days, there's little difference. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:07 17
  - airbrushing is a physical process on the model themselves. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 13:09 16
    - ??? I think it was predominantly done to the photos. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:10 12
      - no, they actually spray makeup on the models. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 13:14 11
        
        see wiki. It was done to the photos. A similar tool can also be used for make up, but that's a different thing. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 2, 13:15 10
        
        I've seen it done on shoots. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 13:16 9
        
        I have no doubt that there was a lot of caked-on makeup in the shoot. But most of the plastic look is, by necessity, from Photoshop itself - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:18 5
        
        there is *serious* PS work on that photo, well beyond just the skin. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:19 4
        
        you mean suckers don't throw off starbursts? -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 13:19 2
        
        What kind of boring suckers have YOU been buying? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:23
        
        I'm talking structural changes to her face. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:20
        
        Epic word. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:19
        
        oh, I totally believe you. I'm just saying it's totally different from photo retouching. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:17 2
        
        yes, I know. And the "poreless" look is usually from makeup. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 13:19 1
        
        from what I have read they do both. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:19
    - Yes, and these days, they eschew that in favour of photoshop brushing. - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:10 2
      - you guys. airbrushing directly on the photo used to be standard. That's where the zits went in my HS photos. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:11 1
        
        Yes, it's been superceded by photoshop. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:14
As fake as her skin looks in that pic, I need some of that for photos I take of myself. Yikes, my skin sucks. Heh :) - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:05 4

  - "It rubs the lotion on its skin." -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 13:10 1
    - maybe he'd do better to rub the lotion on the camera lens -- nm - Roger More Jan 2, 13:17
  - No, I want t he photoshop technique that made Clarkson look like she was made from plastic. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:08
MVP! MVP! -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:04

- I like Philip Roth -- nm - con_carne Jan 2, 13:07 1
  - I like Matt Roth but not as much as Phillip Merling. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:08
- He is a great player, but has a worse attitude then Ryan Leaf -- nm - amoxy Jan 2, 13:06 3
  - I'm waiting for Cutler to cut off his head and feast on the brains. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:07
  - unpossible. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 13:07 1
    - I don't know. LT looks at him like RKD used to look at ursine. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:08

- AJ Smith? -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:05

My bait is far far sweeter. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 2, 13:03 7
- but less successful -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:04 6
  - I'll agree with that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:05
  - but remlik keeps going back to him, that says something. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 2, 13:05 4
    - don't discount proximity. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 13:07 2
      - or the checks Amy writes. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:12 1
        
        Or Remlik's desperation -- nm - eag Jan 2, 13:19
    - oh no, you got it backwards. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:06
[deleted] 1
- B2 was still the best backboard ever, despite sucking. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 13:04
