Most people don't. And most people forget that they have always 'known' that TV and movie folks get a ton of heavy cosmetic work before they go in front of the camera. We see it being done all the time but never stop to think that 'we' could benefit from the same help when we step in front of the lens!

Like to know what manipulation software is being used there.
The girl's image was corrected using PhotoShop. It took me less than five minutes to do so, using only 4-5 of the available buttons. I am NOT a skilled PhotoShop user. Any graphic artist who uses it daily could do a MUCH better job.

I agree. But this was corrected for the Asian market. That market doesn't like freckles. In the West, a nice golden skin is the epitome of beauty, and we have tanning salons everywhere. In Asia, the goal is different, and you can find row after row of 'Skin Whiteners' in every drug store. But removing the two freckles was the least of it. (There were actually four of them...) She has skin blemishes all over her face, forehead, and chest that were removed. The color of her lips was saturated. Her hair was brought to life. Her skin was smoothed over. The red was taken away from her eyes. And the all-over exposure was adjusted. In short... I put on her make-up.

Beppe, she'd stop your heart... but it would take six undertakers to get the smile off your face.
