This document discusses how Photoshop can be used to transform models' appearances. It summarizes some of the tools used to manipulate photos of a woman and man, including liquifying to decrease/increase sizes, burning to add definition, cloning to remove marks, and blurring to smooth skin. For the woman, techniques included decreasing arms, legs, waist and breasts as well as adding color and definition. For the man, techniques included increasing and defining muscles, removing hair and marks, and manipulating eye color. The document warns that these techniques were demonstrated but not endorsed by Rad Campaign.
