Back to the orginal intent of this post... whether or not this is the same photo or not, it doesn't matter. We know for a fact that the second photo was touched up in some degree.

I do this kind of restoration for a living and I can tell you that it would be a lot easier just to take another shoot then try to mask out the hair. I'm not saying it's impossible... just easier.

And depending on the angle the picture was taken, you can do some crazy things with your body. Anyone who has ever seen "American's next top model" would know what I mean when the judges critique the photos. I admit, I stand in front of the mirror just to see what angle would make me look thinner too.

Anyway, most of us, if not all must have come across the Dove commercial where they transformed a regular "jane doe" into a supermodel. I really like what Dove is trying to achieve with this. I wish more commericals and ads would be like this.

I believe Kate Winslet and some other actors have in fact went against their images being drastically altered. If anything, didn't the Vanity Fair or one of the bigger fashion magazine actually did an issue about this subjuect?
