As part of a social experiment/exploration, journalist Priscilla Yuki Wilson sent out a photograph of herself to photoshoppers and retouchers with the request, 'Make me beautiful'.
Too often I think, even if photoshoppers do have an ideal of beauty, a lot of them seem to lack the skills to put that into their retouched pics. So normally I'd pass over a story like this. But....
Apart from the one from the USA that looks like someone misunderstood the request as, 'show me the worst example of photoshop you can', what's up with Algeria? Is there really an ideal of beauty in Algeria that calls for a person to be made transparent, sent up into the stars to look like a disembodied alien - and to have what is surely a touch of postmortem lividity added around the top of her chest there?
*the orginal, unretouched photo by Che Landon is on the left, of course.
