I found it really interesting.

Wow! could it load any slower?
Hopefully it runs better later, painfully slow now.
Works MUCH better in Firefox than Safari - FWIW

The video was making the rounds here and other place a couple of weeks ago.
Even made CNN.
I think the eye thing is a DNMC for sure. ;-)

Did you guys realize you have to click on each picture and then rollover (off and on) to see all the work that was done on them? That's what I thought was neat. I didn't realize how bad some of these people looked without the processing.

Yes, this has been posted before. At least two other times if not more. Like what I said in those other threads I'd love to see more support in the rules for retouching. Perhaps as a separate rule set used once in a while for special challenges.

All it told me is what can be done in extreme cases. While they are not as common as ad agencies would have us believe, I have seen people who are naturally very attractive with flawless skin and wouldn't require nearly as much as those pictures required, at least not if they were taken in anything approaching good lighting. Qt least one or 2 of those head shots looked to me like they either had really poor lighting, or were took in the worst possible lighting scenario to maximize the amount of work that had to be done to produce a final photo.
It seems to me that there is a conclusion that they are causing the viewer to draw that all photos and pictures of people require or have this amount of work, which isn't true. You have to be careful not to take the sample photos as representative of all photos taken.
It does remind me in particular of a shift that happened in TV when HD first came out, and they found HD was so good that viewers could see the makeup and such on actors, so they had to get more subtle(or do more post work?) about it.
Besides, if you ever saw anyone in person that had skin as smooth as those pics, they've probably had a bad botox. :)

A lot of what I saw in the rollovers looked like fixing bad photography. Amazes me that some people get paid big big bucks to hand crap over to photoshop gurus to make them look good.
