Some celebrity Photoshop-revealing GIFS have surfaced, exposing just how different celebrities appear without the help of Photoshop. Many of these celebrities are female pop stars, posing in their lingerie. While their normal bodies are perfectly fine, they are still touched up using Photoshop.
One of the most drastic Photoshop changes is that of Kelly Clarkson. The American Idol winner is pictured leaning against a wall, looking pretty casual. However, with Photoshop, her clothes, hair and skin become brighter, and her legs shrink about two sizes. The same is true for the GIF of Britney Spears. Using Photoshop, technicians managed to make her legs taller, her waist narrower and her skin more tanned.
These images make it clear that celebrities are not as goddess-like as their fans may think from looking at their touched-up photos. While Photoshop can do wonderful things, transforming photos into elaborate pieces of art, it can also be harmful. Perhaps these GIFS will help take the pressure off average people.
