lol. Heath and Phil owned. Great Cover.
Heath and Phil??
Both of them?

rumor has it the other idea they had besides "HE'S BACK" was "GUESS WHAT-IT'S NOT A N-WORD THIS TIME"LOL! LOL! LOL!
100% adobe
not retouched at all actually (except obviously adding the cover images into what we had Jay tearing 2 days after the O)...but I guess you're the expert
everyone on here automatically says Photoshop for everything
hilarious

I'm gonna buy them both.
While we're at it, I'm calling Photoshop on the half-Phil half-Dex cover as well >:(
Just make sure the pages don't get sticky, stud
So if it wasn't and I quote: "retouched at all" then why is Jay two different hues on both covers? Obviously it was touched up and saying so is just insulting our intelligence. Some of us work in the design/commercial/film industry and we can spot a photoshop job with our eyes closed. Next time don't make such foolish statements unless you feel like bowing down like a bitch to our supreme knowledge and total awesomeness.
Have a wonderful and joyful day, fuckstick.
Yes the color was adjusted to better contrast with the backgrounds (and the background on the second image was created), but that isn't what people mean by saying photoshopped was it?. Anatomically that is the image of Jay exactly as it was shot.
But I guess since you know so much more about how this cover was put together than I do, there is no point in arguing.
It took exactly one post for someone here to start berating me...good times.

Color, contrast, levels etc all adjusted to give him a more dramatic look bringing out lines and cuts that aren't really there. There's also some cleanup around the waist which has been modified a bit. So yea, I'd say it's pretty much summed up you're full of shit. Every single photo on every magazine cover has been altered in some way, it's the norm these days giving people the impression of a reality that's created by the editor of the magazine and nothing that relates to real life.
Don't whine about someone berating you here, you knew what it was like before signing up so don't play the sympathy card because no one gives a shit. We call it like we see it and you can't honestly believe you can come here slinging bullshit and not get called on it?
yeah i know, i also had but one low res image from the woman and you cant really work with that very well.

Heres what i did with the cover of mr lopez from hardfitness.com but aint got time to finish it.
was a challenge to come with something new.
You are an artist twice over, Mars
Yates with the Flex magazine treatmentwow as if yates wasn't dry enough!
exactly, scribbler is obvious an outsider.
they make them looks much more freaky than they really are, doesnt mean always they make the muscles bulkier but fact is they do on most covers.

I took a few shots of Jay from the Olympia, in which he looked just as good as that cover. Now, for you experts... you dont need to use Photoshop all the time (although Photoshop is the generic term people use for any coloring, depth adding, features, etc).
You can take a shot that I took, deepen the color, and texture and people will think they photoshopped the muscles. Come on now. Not all pictures are like that.
Cover looks really good.
Jay deserves it. Jay came back from when almost everyone thought he wouldnt.
who in their right mind buy these crap packed "magazines" anyway but 100lbs newcommers ?

You're such a fuking tool "uber"man09. I don't think you've said one positive thing in your 3 months and 700 posts on this board. I never understand why cock suckers like you are on a bodybuilding board. Go away and try to be uber somewhere else.
It's the greatest cover I've seen since that Arnold 60th birthday addition. I hope that shit flies off the shelves. And I'm sure you'll get your mommy to buy it for you so that you can jerk off to it in your closet with a rope around your neck.

how old are you again? ::)
frigging weirdo.
Please die already.looks like the old, ugly, sunburned to death homo who reads the bible while injecting steroids has a crush on me.
LMAO! At the conspiracies here. I saw the image of Jay on the computer screen immediately after it was shot in Gold's Gym. It looked exactly like that minus the cover of Phil/Dex and that was straight out of the camera.
Do adjustments get made to photos? Of course there will always be some adjustment but not to the point where it is an entirely different image. It all depends on how you define - "That's photoshopped".
Some one posted a perfect example of what shitty photography - no photo shop and poor layout skills looks like with the Hardfitness "cover".

The cover of FLEX magazine is fake as its contents.
from the over photoshopped image of Cutler to the claims of "add 16lbs of muscle like Phil Heath, but we won't tell you about his drug regimen"
hope this helps

They are using a LuciasArts filter on that cover. I know that 100% for a fact. They are doing nothing else but completely ripping off Dave Hill's "look" that he uses for his work and clients.
There is nothing fancy about this. LuciasArts is a simply a plug in for Photoshop. There is no talent involved here.
i really wonder why people still buy flex, its beyond me.;)They are totally lost
