The media is often criticised for presenting a distorted view of society with fashion magazines and Sunday supplements crammed with images of impossibly beautiful people.
But they are not as perfect as they look.
www.DeTouch.org lays bare the tricks and chets used in photographic publishing, showing you what those picture perfect models looked like before the touch-up artist got involved.
Drawing from a number of online sources where before and after photographs are displayed, this site uses an open source tool called Processing to compare the images pixel by pixel and generate visualizations of the alterations.
Waists are sucked in, chests pumped out. Lines and shadows smoothed and removed.
There is even one lady who has had an eye shifted up - all in the pursuit of creating the illusive perfect beauty.
