Photoshop

グラビアの闇は深い

Some may remember this video from earlier this year in which a woman is transformed into a flawless magazine model by the power of Photoshop.

Well one of the beauties of Photoshop - it can work both ways!

Ad agency Victors & Spoils poked fun of mass media's tendency to turn normal humans into plastic Barbie and Ken dolls through their abuse of Photoshop by, well, using Photoshop in reverse.

That is, they took a viral photo of a girl in a bikini that had been heavily altered and added more alterations to the original alterations to transform the skinny Barbie into a fat Santa Claus. The power of Photoshop swings both ways.

Happy holidays!
