The face on the left looks fake af

>>10056723
Well yeah, it's a thread asking about photoshop use with the OP image being a with photoshop and without photoshop example

>>10056709
Most of the time. I generally just colour correct and smooth out any lumps. I wouldn't say it's anything too drastic since I still want it to look like me.

Rather, the "fakeness" of my pictures come from the fact that they're heavily staged. Like I'm wearing a bunch of makeup products despite it being a natural look. I take hundreds of pictures, trying to get the angle right, the light right, the background right. The public sees a single picture that looks effortless, but it's all a show lol.

>>10056709
man how much vendetta do you have against this girl? this is like the third thread you’ve started about her

>>10056784
First thread ever using a picture of this girl I've made and first thread I've made in about a year period, not everything is a vendetta you dumb bitch and some girls have their pictures used as examples because they put themselves out there enough that when you type cosplay photoshop into google they're the ones that pop up

>>10056790
>getting this angry about being called out
vendetta confirmed

>>10056799
>has no argument
>v-vendetta though
Stupid cunt

>inb4 enji gets posted and her whiteknight comes in to rescue her from evil gulls

>>10056801
>>10056790
>when you type cosplay photoshop into google they're the ones that pop up
>OP nowhere in google results
>Same picture of the same nobody used for three threads within a month
>I-it’s t-totally not vendetta!!!!! Y-you’re just dumb!!!!!
You’re really not fooling anyone, vendetta-chan.

>>10056804
>Google results are the same for everyone
>If I say vendetta enough with absolutely no evidence it'll be true
>coincidence doesn't exist
Retard

>>10056806
>Thinking everyone calling out obvious vendetta is the same person
Get over it, vendetta-chan, at least make new images if you’re going to sperg out.

>>10056809
>v-vendetta-chan
>I'm totally different btw
Again, fuck off

Starting to think the one ranting about how OP has a vendetta is actually the one with a vendetta, or they are one and the same. It's not that hard to same fag yourself with a phone and a laptop or any other device with its own data line.

>>10056812
>Doubling down on everyone calling me out for vendetta is the same person!!!!!!!
Yikes:

>>10056817
>this big of a slip up
Oh honey

>>10056813
Nah, it’s just boring seeing the same thread with the same photos posted over and over. They already made two threads about this girl under the guise of a general “photoshopping cosplayers” thread and another one on lolcow. At least give some fresh comparisons of other patreon thots, it takes two seconds.

>>10056759
Yeah, this is pretty much the same for me. It's not that I'm photoshopping my pics, but with the lighting, the pose, the makeup and specific styling, the fact that I'll take a zillion pics to get one perfect one- that's obviously not going to reflect how I look most of the time, and I'll probably look pretty different on the floor of a con (though not unrecognisable)

>>10056759
>>10057026
Exactly, and I'll also put in a extra effort into my makeup, wig styling etc when I'm taking a pic vs when I'm going to a con, as I know that a lot of the work will be undone over the day anyways/wouldn't be close up. A lot of the "shop vs no shop" collages of cosplayers probably do have some shop, but I'd say that the great angles, lighting, pose, expression etc. Is what makes instagram photos look so much better than hall shots, where you can't control angle, lighting, and a person is most likely only going to take one shot of you.

>>10056823
This just looks like better face angle and better lighting

>>10057286
Are you blind anon?

ok, i won’t lie. i photoshop the fuck out of my pictures. it all started when i was in high school and i admired dakota rose and her “look.” i took to the early versions of beautycam or meitu, can’t remember, and i would just try to make myself look how i wish i looked. since then i couldn’t stop. i hate my face, i have a stupid shaped nose that’s not straight and my face shape is really weird. i just fix it all in beautycam now. i have really toned it down since my dakota rose skinwalking days but it’s still something that i have to do if i’m ever to post a picture of myself. i have gotten pretty good at it and i can do it in a way that looks natural and not uncanny. i have met with lots of internet friends in person who only saw my photoshopped pictures and they say i look the same. they never act weird upon meeting me or think that i’m unrecognizable. i’ve even straight up asked them if i look like my photos and they say i do. but if one would see how i looked before editing a selfie and after, they’d be shocked at the differences. the photoshopping has harmed my view on myself a lot and it’s really unhealthy to do but i can’t stop.

>>10057366
Anon, different types of cameras also skew the proportions, so don't forget that. A selfie cam is going to be far less generous on your facial features than a high quality camera photo.

https://gizmodo.com/watch-how-different-camera-lenses-can-make-you-look-fat-1784458991

>>10057366
honestly anon don’t worry about it. i edit the shit out of my photos, taking like 30 min to an hour for each photo for face edits, and no one has ever said i look different, even those who i’d trust to be harsh. i’m asia based as well and people will talk mad shit about you if you shoop too much, and multiple people who have met me (since i’m a popular cosplayer who gets invited to some cons) have told me that they’re so happy i look “just like my photos” because “some cosplayers photoshop till they look completely different”. you notice your flaws way more than anyone else would.

>>10057364
The first example wasn’t as dramatic. Don’t be so hostile.

>>10057414
ntayrt but the first photo was just as bad. she gave herself a new nose, jaw, lips,and erased her huge eyebags.

>>10056709
>>10056823
>>10056828
>>10057364
would still fuck them anyway

and whoever that>>10056828 is, she looks better unaltered

>>10057426
Hey dude, most of those things change you to look like a totally different person, but don't knock erasing eyebags. There's an entire makeup market around that, and that's one of the most basic edits anyone can make.

>>10056709
>How often do you touch up your photos
always, it's no secret either
>how much do you alter
colours, bumbs, unevenness in my skin, very slight things in my face shape/shadow wise. Generally, I want it to look like if you see me IRL you can believe it's untouched and just a good picture, so my changes are minimal.

>>10056709
>always
I usually don't ask for body touch ups, it's usually just lighting and levels that I have done, unless I have a bruise/cut visible from work

>>10056709
>how often do you touch up your photos?
Most of the time, even if the edits are pretty minor.
>how much do you alter?
Get rid of dark eye circles, any blemishes, and soften nasolabial folds if they're harsh. I fix pic lighting too. Selfie cams make my nose look big and potatoey when it's pretty average irl but I don't know how to convincingly edit it into its normal shape. Fortunately that's not a problem with nice cameras but it makes trying to take cute selfies miserable.

>>10057464
Uhh what? I was pointing out the dramatic changes in the photo that anon was claiming weren't there. The girl in the picture clearly didn't have them done.

>>10056709
Almost always, mostly to fix any visible skin issues (I have bad acne), occasionally I remove wig flyaways or ugly creases in my costume. I've never changed shapes or done anything too drastic, just want to look like my best self

>>10058208
The thing with your nose happens because you're too close to the camera, maybe take them from a greater distance, if you're already extending your arm fully try a selfie stick and remote?

>>10056709
> How often do you touch up your photos
Every photo
> How much do you alter?
Lighting, colors, a little nose reshaping since I have an ugly big nose and can't afford rhinoplasty rn, and fixing any skin issues like acne and dark circles. Sometimes fixing eyeliner if I'm having a bad eyeliner day.

It's nothing too drastically different than what I look like IRL.

>>10056723
I don't think she used photoshop, because her looks stay consistent
but I've been honestly wondering if this girl hasn't had some extensive plastic surgery since she's from Brazil
I always wondered what it was that made Brazilian girls so damn attractive, until I found out the unfortunate truth that they're vastly into plastic surgery over there, as bad as South Koreans
Can any anons confirm feglvao has gotten plastic surgery?
My guesses are a BBL and lip filler

>>10058665
>they're vastly into plastic surgery over there, as bad as South Koreans
That's far from truth. Plastic Surgery (for aesthetic reasons) is hella expensive here, unless it's something related to your health (like nostril surgeries). So it's not a popular thing, as some may think. Rich girls, though, often have nose and ear corrections (boobs implants too, but it's not something really common anymore), but since most cosplayers / lolitas are far from rich here, it's pretty rare to find someone with plastic surgery.

This girl, though, is known for using a bunch of photoshop to alter her body (you can find more info about her on Brazilian Lowcow) . Her face is like that on real life, though, just less cartooney.

>>10058674
>This girl, though, is known for using a bunch of photoshop to alter her body

what is her name? (nayrt)

>>10058678
I'm almost sure there's a rule here on cgl against naming. Anyway, search for "fegalvao_" on Instagram

>>10058687
Oh sorry, I didn't know that, but thank you.

>>10058665
>My guesses are a BBL and lip filler
You need a lot more than that to do this with surgery only.

>>10058665
no photoshop? bitch no one has a waist that skinny combined with an ass that big

>>10056709
>How often do you touch up your photos and how much do you alter?
Never did it.
I don't usually post pics online and mostly save them for my future self, as a reminder of youthful con days.

>>10058665
>until I found out the unfortunate truth that they're vastly into plastic surgery over there, as bad as South Koreans
This is simply not true. Where did you find this information?
Brazil does have the best plastic surgeons for some areas (ie. ass) but that's about it.

>>10058665
Her waist is clearly shopped. If you look at it you can see her skin having ridges and isn't flat at all... She probably consistently shops them the same due to using the same pose/angle but she def shops herself.

>>10058665
Nose job, I think.

>>10056709
>How often do you touch your photos
Minimum 3 times while developing and scanning them.
>how much do you alter?
I adjust the colours a bit and remove dust.

>>10056709
I change brightness, contrast, saturation, that's it. I asked a guy to blur my skin a bit and fiix a stray hair in one shoot but I NEVER ever actually alter parts of my body or shape even though I get accused of it constantly.

every selfie i put up i blur my skin a little, remove stray acne, and remove dark circles. i sometimes make my nose a little smaller cause at a certain angle my nose looks huge even though it is not.

>>10058764
You sure about that. I wear anything from a US 2 to a 6 in tops and 8 to 12 in bottoms depending where it is but this board is not appropriate for ass photos. I just wish I had this girl's perfect tits and a better face; I wouldn't assume that's photoshopped.

I don't have so much back chub now but as imuchas I hate it I still would not photoshop that fat roll out, it would just feel too dishonest.

>>10065459
why are you constantly posting grainy pics of yourself here. get a blog.

>>10058665
you're retarded AND blind. Congrats buddy <3

>>10065459
you very clearly edited your waist in the bottom left photo

>>10058764
waist 60cm ass 80cm anon here
I still think she's shooped but yeah some people have tiny waists

>>10067793
>not even enough difference between measurements to be classified as an hourglass
>trying to pretend to be curvy
waist 58 cm ass 83 cm anon here
if your ass is in the 80s, it's going to look like a flat ass unless your waist is in the 40s

>>10057366
If professional models can do it, amateur models can do it.

No one really cares about the salt from angry incels in the real world.

>>10065459
protip: don't warp things near straight edges like in the bottom left photo if you want it to be hidden

>>10067842
I'm seriously amazed by how everything you wrote sounds wrong.

>>10065459
Fuck you're hot
>tfw no short fit cosplay gf

>>10058764
>>10065459
Actual 70cm waist 117cm ass here.
Yes that's photoshop on that image, she has too much chub on the rest of her body to make me believe it (you can see it on her arms, especially the one in front). She's also having tons of plastic surgery, so even if she wouldn't use photoshop it's still fake as fuck. Altrough with all the surgery, the photoshop might be more touching up, and else it's more proffesionally altered like the more spending e-fame whores do (the kind that also rent a private yet to act rich for photo's. A photoshop guy is cheaper).

Even when "natural" curves like that exists, they are generally caused by abnormal things like medical issues and other genetic or medical "abnormalities" instead of the biological norm. Like for me, I literally can't hold fat due to medical issues. Went on birth control young because of other medical isseus with my periods, which made me hold fat on 2 places (hip/ass and breast) while still not being able to do so on other places. It looks nice, but it can also be hell, buying clothes is a mess because nothing fits right unless it's custom made, and my body has trouble keeping itself warm because of the lack of fat. Honestly, the fact these people act like their body is always great, and the only complains I ever hear is mens attention while being skimpy dresses, makes me doubt their realness even more. They are obviously trying to be a sex fantasy and are willing to be fake for it.

>>10069259
It must hurt to realize your ass is flat, huh?

>>10056723
The waist too.

>>10056709

>>10058665

>>10067842
>>10067793
56cm waist and 90cm ass and I guess she's overusing the inclination of her body to emphasize her "curvyness". It's all about angles and standing on tiptoe on one of your legs to look like her.

>>10071456
>>10071458
She looks like her photos in these?

Usually just the color/contrast/lighting. I'm pretty confident in my features but I take like million photos til I'm satisfied. I understand why people with bad skin etc. do it though.

I only started having my photos given more than a basic touch up this year. And even then it was just skin and a "can you fix my messed up jawline".

I cosplay to bring fantasy to life. Too much photoshop kills that for me on a personal level, and can ruin how much I enjoy the photos of another costume too. If I wanted to look at a digital painting I would.

>>10067842
Anon you're insane. Take for example 88cm hip and 55cm waist - that's a pretty substantial difference. It will most definitely look curvy

>>10056723
>>10071375
yes, that is literally the point of the after-and-before comparison op posted...?

>>10073338
>it will most definitely look curvy
kek

>>10074226
Don’t really know how this generator works but 22” waist 34” hip is quite slim, more curvaceous than a typical commercial model (who generally fall into the 24”-25” waist 34”-35” hip range)

>>10074270
Most commercial models aren't curvy...

>>10074226
sorry slightly ot but what website is this?

>>10075137
It's bodyvisualizer.com

>>10075145
>>10074226
kek now I know for sure she ain't curvy. I filled in my sizes and it looked way too big because they only enlarged to the side, but the fat on my hips/ass obviously also goes to the back and not just to the side. This looks ridiculous. It's defiantly not a very accurate website for body shape, but the way it goes wrong should make her look more curvy at best, not less, so we can be even more sure she's not having the curves she claims.

>>10075354
dropped pic

>>10075384
Im sorry but thats fucking hilarious

Why do you respond so salty op

>>10075384
>DAMN BOI SHE THICC

>>10065459
Damn I love cute light skinned brown girls.

I generally just smooth out my skin, brighten my eyes, and if I have like an awkward fat roll (I'm pretty thin but I have weird back fat sometimes?) I'll tuck it in just a tad so it's not like poking anyone in the eye.

I think editing is fine, but changing the way you fundamentally look is bizarre and vaguely.. immoral? Like I like my fans to recognize me when they see me in person. I don't want them to be like "eww wtf."

>>10080551
what about other cute brown girls? why do you mainly like light skinned brown girls?

>>10080596
I mean if they were 'cute', then either way they'd be great. I've probably just seen a lot more cute light skinned girls than cute dark skinned girls.

>>10071456
is that supposed to be a nidalee cosplay? that's some hot garbage there lmao

>>10075384
t. hungarian

I never do
I'm shocked at how badly that can go. As if no one stops and thinks

>wow, editing this was a waste of time

>>10085481
I cannot stop noticing her eyebrows looking painted on

>>10087455
most girls nowadays paint on their eyebrows. look at all the instathots and popular social media girls. all the same.

>>10087634
A lot of women can't grow full eyebrows.

Not often, and when I do it is very subtle. I prefer a more natural look.

>>10075384
Are you me?
>Cries in pear shaped

>>10094215
based asp poster

As you can see, I heavily Photoshop my pics because my cosplay pics never come out the way I picture them. The is actually a pretty tame example when it come to my body but (as you can easily tell) I have to edit my eyes in which I never thought I would ever have to do.

>>10094359
*This is...
>I can type I swear

>>10094359
I think the PS here adds to the effect, and isn’t necessarily trying to seem “real”. Plus, your Leon cosplay is great!

>>10094416
Thanks dude/gal.

I recognize that Photoshop is important to creating and finishing content in the same way that I and other musicians would record musical tracks separately and utilize editing to make the finished track sound good, but do you gulls think that all this editing negatively affects your mental health / self image in any way?

>>10098897
I feel it has helped me. I can’t speak for everyone. But I have BDD and when I take pictures, I hate seeing myself in the camera. With editing, I can make me see what I wish I could always see- body wise anyways. I think if it’s used in small amounts, it’s fine. In some cases though, I can see if feeding a negative self image :<

>>10098902
I can relate to you, but never bothered to learn how to edit photos to beautify myself, because the need just didn't arise. I make it a point of pride that I tend to look better in real life than on Tinder n shit, but half of that comes from the fact that I haven't lined up some high quality photos.

I personally rarely shop my pics since I aim to look better irl than in photos but if the pic is warped from my shitty phone camera or something I'll shop that out

>>10098897
Oh, definitely. I feel like the fact that SO many people shop all of their pics makes others feel worse about the way they look because they don't realize everyone else is touched up.
I personally feel better about my looks if I shoop myself uglier than I am and then compare that to how I actually look.

>>10056709
I take you mean "besides levels and white balance correction", because those do not count as "faking" - unless you've managed to build a perfect camera that can compare to the human eye

>>10057364
This is just color correction of white levels, you retard

>>10099513
nice joke

>>10069319
There is a beautiful girl with long blonde hair who works in my local shopping center. She has the tiniest waist, and the biggest, roundest ass I've ever seen. I think she might have lipedema, which is a shame because she's young, but she still looks fantastic.

>>10099513
does color correction typically smooth your cellulite, make your arms and waist thinner and remove half your jaw?
