All of these videos on the before and after of photoshop are made specifically to put you in a state of awe, and they're full of shit. As an actual model, I can tell you with perfect confidence that beautiful people are still being used, average people usually aren't getting modeling jobs, and 99.9% of the time photographers much prefer a situation where they don't have to photoshop the model.
Generally speaking, if you see a hot chick that was shot professionally, it's probably legit -- assuming you're looking at the original image and not something some sherdogger shooped to make her ass huge.
Where the crazy photoshopping happens is when magazines do shoots with celebs. Most models are beautiful, most celebs have glaring imperfections. There's really nothing wrong with that, but the expectation that celebs are perfect, and just as gorgeous as models, means that most media outlets will photoshop the fuck out of them.
