Virtual Plastic Surgery: 40 Photoshop Beauty Retouch Tutorials for That Perfect Look

Retouching pictures of human beings is one of the most common tasks in image editing. Beauty needs to be perfect these days. We don't want to see how people actually look, but how we imagine them to look. Only superlatives suffice. If you like that or not, chances are if you are part of our industry, you'll have to deal with these tasks more often than not. The variety is wide - from removing pimples, whitening teeth and establishing a noble paleness to butt reductions and breast enlargements. Create your own beau ideal. If you want or need or have to get skilled in virtual plastic surgery, these 40 tutorials will do the job. You'll have to bring Photoshop, though.

  1. Thanks for that thorough roundup, Dirk! What about a standalone article on e.g. how model agencies are working with Photoshop and models get “tuned”?

  2. It great to see that what amazing things photoshop can do. can you also give a brief tutorial on how to perform these?
