the site owner had photographed her perfectly normal, pretty teenage daughter, redid it with all the photoshopping tricks and then layered the two over each other. You could mouse over different areas and see the differences between the original and the refinished- where hair had been inserted to make the hair look fuller, how the waist and thighs were trimmed, whitening of the eyes and teeth, blemish and pore removal etc.

It was a really good visual and I wish I still had the link.
