THE COVER PHOTOS of Jinkee Pacquiao and Charice Pempengco on two glossy magazines have both become quite controversial. People keep on saying the covers were obviously retouched or the result of photoshop, but those running Mega and Preview magazines insist it’s not so. Of course, no one would believe them.
As one newshen says: “Sa tagal ko in this business, it’s so easy to spot kung niretoke o hindi ang isang cover photo. In the case of Charice and Jinkee, hindi siguro magsususpetsa ang mga tao kung hindi nabago nang husto ang mga hitsura nila. Yes, make up and proper lighting can help to improve anyone’s looks. But in their case, sobrang laki ng diprensiya sa normal look nila before kaya no one would believe hindi produkto ng photoshop ang mga cover nila. Even the past cover of Nora Aunor sa Preview, halata rin namang niretoke kasi the change in the appearance of Ate Guy was so drastic. Look at her now at ikumpara mo doon sa cover niya, milya-milya ang layo. Wag na magreklamo ang mga magasing yan dahil the controversy is helping generate public interest in them at pasalamat na lang silang they profit from it with free plugs.”
