Even if you have that perfect combination, there are now images out there in which women are on their hands and knees and their stomachs are concave. That's impossible. It's called GRAVITY. Even if you are super-skinny your viscera are going to be pulled down toward the floor and your stomach will not be concave. Also, there are little folds and wrinkles that appear in flesh when you contract it, say by curling up in a ball or bending a certain way, and due to Photoshop people think that truly in-shape folks don't have that. They do, it's just been airbrushed out.

There have been a couple of Photoshop-retouching things that have been released over the past few years and they are MIND-BOGGLING.
