NRT, this is not a before and after photo retouch. You are looking at entirely different photos. The poor photos may have been taken to test lighting and pose. No one retouched these test shots to get the final ad shot. This article is pointing out that a lot of work had to be done to make the final shot look good based on the difference in the preliminary outtake shots. The author did not claim that the outtakes were retouched to make the final ad.

I’m with Johann: there’s no way this is a fair ‘before-and-after’ comparison. The angles and lighting are obviously very different, and I agree that the quality of the ‘before’ image is *suspiciously* poor.

Even after extensive (and expensive) hair and makeup, this what she looks like before being retouched? Wow! The before and after photos remind me of Oscar Wilde’ “The Story of Dorain Grey” but in reverse. Even for 46 she looks pretty scary! In Texas we have a saying about horses that look this rough: “Rode hard and put up wet

As an experienced retoucher I must inform people that this is in no way fair to Madonna…The “before-images” here can’t even be raw polaroid-scans. Someone have must have played with the images in photoshop before publishing them to make the difference bigger(worse).
Anyway, in my opinion the most beautiful thing about Madonna isn’t her looks, but her stunning personality.

I miss the fun, sassy Madonna of yore. She’s ruining her once gorgeous skin with too much clean living and exercise. I’ve never seen her look so gaunt and scraggly.

Celebs ought to pay a percentage of their income to the creators of Photoshop.

I’d prefer to have a long and passionate rendezvous with her marketing and business skills.

Even without Photoshop, she can put her shoes under my bed anytime. Not bad for 46…
