Celebrities Untouched: The Real Truth About Photoshop

It's no secret celebrities get help from Photoshop in most of their professional shoots, but how much might surprise you.

Next time you are staring at a picture of Megan Fox and asking yourself why God gave her drop dead gorgeous looks and a flawless body you might want to give yourself a reality check after seeing this before and after pictures of her during a professional photo shoot.

Although it's no doubt she is blessed with good looks, getting photoshopped has given her goddess looks.  She is naturally freckled and it shows even after wearing make-up with the before pictures, when you look at the after, Megan magically gets rid of all her freckles and looks flawless without a single flaw in her face.

If you thought Bethenny Frenkel looked amazing on her PETA billboard, her ribs portrude from her skinny frame during the untouched picture, in the touched up picture she looks to be perfectly slender and toned without any visible bones.

Spanish actress Penelope Cruz seems to have the fresh face of a very young woman without a single wrinkle to be had in one of her photo shoots, while in reality you see that she does in fact have wrinkles around her eyes and smile.

So at the end of the day, celebrities are human and are vulnerable to the normal progression of age as all of us are.  They are selling an image and not who they really are at the end of the day and that's because that's what the public wants from them.  They want an illusion, and not a reality, of who their favorite celebrities are.
