Photochop offers one-hour photo touch-up jobs for holidays
Photochop is a San Francisco company, founded last year, that will help you remove your personal shortcomings during this vanity-filled season of holiday photo-taking and sending.
The digital photo touch-up company is self-financed to date and does not have venture money.
Here is an image of the before-after comparisons promised by Photochop. It does things like remove blemishes and increase breast sizes, says Photochop’s Saar Gur. You get the job back within an hour, and only pay if you like it, he says. We don’t really endorse this sort of thing because loved ones should accept you for who you are. We mention it because presumably there are people who will want to try out the service anyway.
