Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

some dude sent a picture of a woman to a bunch of different countries and asked them to photoshop her to look beautiful

The "study" is the equivalent of someone making a thread in SA mart and commissioning people from around the world to photoshop her picture.

but even less than that, because you dont just send a photo to a random company with a google translated sentence and get any results

they knew it was going into the atlantic, and i cant imagine so many studios all being in on the joke so im wondering if it was just all done by 2 or 3 people guessing at what the countries would call beautiful

ah okay, i didnt see that in the article just, "she sent this image to photoshop designers with one sentence 'make me look beautiful'"

so she doesnt even know if the artists in question are from the countries

i wouldnt be surprised if each photo is just labeled with what the author of the article assumed the image could represent

It's funny how modern art is now getting other people to do the work for you then taking the credit yourself. It somehow makes perfect sense.

australians are bad at photoshop, americans are even worse, and germans are necrophiles.

these are fairly common knowledge things imo. was this supposed to be educational in some way or what?

Bulgeria, italy, and romania wins imo. Others either look weird in terms of being clearly photoshoped or like inhuman plastic dolls, but those three basically managed to give a look that might be possible with a good makeup crew and photographers.

Yeah I considered adding a caveat that of the those three Bulgaria was the closest to getting thrown into the plastic doll bin, but like they left the bags beneath her eyes and really only seemed to modify skin tone and eye color while a lot of the other countries seemed to flat out sculpt her face into different positions.
