gregapodaca.com — Greg Apodaca's web portfolio showcases some of the most EXTREME retouched photos that I have ever seen done. This is worth checking out to see who the real models are behind the magazine covers our society idolizes. His site shows the original scans followed by his retouching of each image. Check this out!

Yeah, I'm definately showing this to my girlfriend, and then maybe I'll photoshop her too, just to prove that she can look like that

As I said above, me too! I like how women really look. Not this fake photoshop stuff, such a turnoff. I'm glad I'm not the only person here who actually is mostly happy to be -gasp- human!

Yes, dude, you should definitely take a picture of your girlfirend and then point out every flaw in her appearance and show her how you would fix her face and body. That will make her feel much better about herself.

I work for huge company and we do this stuff everyday. His work is good and it is nice peek behind the curtain.Every image in print can not be trust as truth. Example the Natural Health magazine gets 10-20 hours of retouching to the cover image. Which makes it not so Natural.

because CGI still looks noticibly fake. starting from a real source gives "altered-real" rather than "fake attempt to look real". Also, see the description of the Uncanny Valley ( <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_Valley">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_Valley</a> ) for a description of why real models will trump anything CGI can put out (especially for advertising) for quite some time.

I don't digg stories that use both the phrases "To the MAX!" and the word "EXTREME". Lay off the booze, seriously.
