Photographer Elizabeth Moss created these behind-the-scenes looks at high-end photograph retouching, like the jobs she does for her past clients Vogue, Elle, GQ and Vanity Fair.
In an interview with Peta Pixel, Moss said:
“These videos are unique because none of the high end retouchers make these type of videos, so the quality of the other before and after retouching videos available online are pretty terrible and not at all representative of what is typically done on high fashion editorials and campaigns. With all the talk about photoshop use or overuse, I thought it would be interesting for people to see how we actually add pores to skin (we do this in the 2nd and 3rd videos, sampled from the girl in the first video).”
Check them out. Don't miss the third video — it's an eye opener. -Via Gizmodo

timelapse of the big one and the continuing after shocks (30+ a day) using google maps and geonet data.
But reading the newslinks they provide over there, they had a rather huge problem.

Trust me, having lived through this quake I can tell you that this damage is not at all surprising. The earth shook in a lateral movement. There was very little "up and down". For the record, the quake yielded 648 kilotons of energy, and was only 20 miles deep. Thats the equivalent of 45 Hiroshima bombs, practically directly below where this image was taken.
So, what happens to gravel when shaken? It gets flung quite widely. Steel rails will bend, but not get stretched, unless under a high temperature to make it pliable. They would be straight, lying in pieces, scattered like gravel. Nice try.
How about simply Googling that Earthquake and seeing the complete damage it did.
What you see in the image is a compression failure, not a fault movement deflection. This is why the rest of the landscape is not deformed. This makes it extremely dangerous as those rails are still under extreme pressure to remain deflected as they are, like a spring.
I would guess in order to repair those rails, they'd have to place cutting charges on them and get the heck out of Dodge.
I came up with 42 extra pixels.
Nuff said.
that said the destruction in the latest quake was pretty epic
A quick google for NZ earthquake and railroad yielded the above link.
It has a great photoshop, they even turned the locomotive over in it.
Here's a great one. The second picture on this link is a different angle of the same deformed track. The angles apear even sharper from the new perspective, and imposible to photoshop.
Remember: Google is your friend.

Watch the first 10 seconds of this vid. Nothing fake about it. Try living through a 7.1 quake and then you are qualified to call whatever you want.
