Just how much of the superb cosplay turned out by the likes of Kipi is due to liberal usage of Photoshop? And can such manipulation allow even the most ugly or inept of cosplayers to emerge as colourful cosplay butterflies?
This none too sparing video demonstrates the process:
Although obviously intended as a rebuke to cosplayers who are dependent on heavy Photoshop to achieve their looks, those who are fans of Kipi and company can at least rest easy knowing that video or third party photographed appearances do demonstrate the Photoshops are not entirely fanciful…

man, what i'd give to have those m4d photoshop sk1llz
Everybody uses photoshop in photography and modeling. Pick up cosmos and tell me that's a 100% natural non shopped photo on the cover.
People ARE EVIL...
:(
so does that guy have superhuman speed or something? he seems to move his mouse around super fast. Either that or (the obvious answer) he sped up the video.
The most funny thing is that the whole thing is backwards what you see when you look at the single options he choses which is the main reason why it is so fast.
the eyes were literally zoomed in and put closer, wow!
its just the eyes mostly tho
she's still pretty prior to the photochop
ITT: butthurt asians
Ah, it matters not, I'd still bang her brains out...
over and over and over...
I can understand manipulating the facial features, but the make-up? Wouldn't that be easier/cheaper to do practically?
Still a cute girl.
if she just a photoshop idol, she would rather fix that teeth first. i can really tell the pic in that video can be recognized shopped in an instant. but the kipi pic i saw wasnt shopped that hard
this video is a fake
oh so that's what kipi really looks like? either way to me she's still ugly
the after-shop picture looks more like garra then haruhi :/
=O
I doubt your average cosplayer knows how to photoshop themselves to that extent.
I would still do naughty things to her reguardless ;P
Pre-shop she looks like a cute girl cosplaying. The shop version looks like some Diva. They are really miles away from each other. Atleast Kipi still looks good pre-shop but thanks for sharing the vid. I'll keep it in mind when I look at pictures from now on.
Ahahahaha come on people, the video is already photoshopped. She uses CIRCLE LENSES, they're contact lenses that makes you iris bigger, so your eyes look bigger.
Are you going to tell me that EVERY photo of her (including photos with fans) and EVERY VIDEO are photoshoped? There are pics of her WITHOUT the lenses and she still looks awesome.
Envy fat cosplayers.
that "unshoped" picture is fake
Compared to the infamous Ralph Lauren photoshop, that's nothing. She was still decent looking in the original, most of the changes are almost subliminal when viewed normally rather than close up.
They made her eyes HUGE, though.
There is no 'original', you idiot.
Internet Disease!!!!
fucking awful!, Kipi you are Krap!!!!!!!!!!!1
Bah, that is no difference from girls with 6 inch of make up..
Video's a hoax
some videos (usually made by Kipi's cell phone) proved it
She may not be as good-looking as the shopped-photos
but she's still pretty
Well another comment lost to the dryer.
post on toast test...
Anyway sure there is some photoshop but finding anyone who really looks good in a picture without photo trickery of some type is extremely rare.
Well either something is wrong with my ability to post comments or there is so weird lag and there is gonna be a ton popping up eventually.
Grr one last try.
Sure Kipi has some PS going on but it is nearly impossible to find anyone who looks good naturally on camera. The video is bogus tho. It's not even a good fake.
What I found more funny was that "Veryproudtobeasian" person. I sense anger in them.
BTW when did youtube turn into video /b/?
What's with the hurry?
Im gonna -1 your comment anyway
Anyway sure there is some photoshop but finding anyone who really looks good in a picture without photo trickery of some type is extremely rare.
What I found more interesting in the other vids. I sense some anger in that Veryproudtobeasian person.
I guess noobtube is now the video /b/
So lets try again.
Well she is obviously photoshopped to a certain extent since as was said photos really show any blemishes or imperfections, the video is just garbage.
What was really interesting is the links from that video. When did youtube degenerate into "trolling with videos"?
shee looked beautiful when the video started, I thought she'd be ugly or something... but nah
the only thing she lacked was some eyeliner in the lower err.... eyelid [párpado de abajo xP]
Still cute w/o PS though
Never like her.
Why all the trouble? She was prettier before the photoshop.
Fake vid, etc.
But yeah, it's true that lots of cosplayers, models, actresses, famous people, presidents, etc depend on photoshop to look "perfect".
And this, my friends, is why every person that says that finding 2D girls hot is weird ends up playing the part of an idiot.
In the end, they are all fapping to some heavily 3D photoshopped fake model...
I thought it was obvious that Kipi was shopped. No one is that perfect.
That perfect? She looks like a pretty average asian chick, what's so special about her?
ahaha..simca was amused by this.
it was good for laughs XD
This sucks hard! those girls with their cosplays and stuff it's ok. but photoshop the pics is to much. She's ugly, then be ugly women! :D
This is fake. This video is running backwards. He made this ugly girl.
That video is fake. The guy there photoshopped the photo at the beginning to make Kipi look ugly, then photoshopped it again. That's why the photo doesn't look like the original one he shopped first.
Plus Kipi doesn't have that big eyes, her eyes are normal and she wears circle lenses, mascara and eyeliner to make them look bigger.
Its real and true you can make your eyes like hers by using make up and circle lenses, you can get proof by wearing it yourself.

If she really did shop her pictures, then she'd fix up those ugly teeth of hers.
Shopping bad teeth is significantly more difficult than shopping tiny eyes and less-than-stellar skin.
What a waste of time. Do not bother!
Faggot needs to learn english first.
So he want to do a girl and that make him a fag? I think your the fag and an ass.
I feel a bit sad with all this photoshop makes me wonder if anything is real... or im just ugly and can never be a fabulous cosplay >.< hurrrmph
Anybody know what program they are using in the video? I've never seen those tools in any version of Photoshop I've owned, in fact the whole program looked nothing like photoshop. Anyway I want to get my hands on it!
it IS photoshop, but the guy is just very good at it. Probably "Liquify" tool or something.
shes still gorgeous! but i am sad i do love those photoshopped eyes
Her eyes are not shopped as you can see on videos made by others that saw her on conventions.
