Old series of before/after examples

Processing

I came across these again on a thread on reddit /r/postprocessing and thought they might be fun to share here. They’re a series of before/after retouching images from a photo set by Gilles Bensimon for Elle magazine (2004 I think?). A nice throwback to what I personally would consider too much… :slight_smile:

I’m personally baffled by some of the choices, such as shrinking the size of her hand? (#1, 4, 6)
The rest of the liquify stuff is a bit much, of course. :wink:

Yeah that’s too much liquify tool for me. The consensus on the reddit thread was that this was a pretty mild use of liquify.

It is a kind of weird, and the wrong actress. She obviously needs no improvements, and, besides, she can make a leading role also in a voice only mode.
