A Lesson in How NOT to Use Photoshop
I rarely post these pics because let’s face it – apart from a few, the others have been photoshopped so badly that sometimes I think, and I’ve said this  before, that it’s Ricky Martin pretending to be Rob – yeah that’s why occasionally  refer to this shoot as the RickyBobby shoot.  But there are a few that actually look like Rob lol.  Seriously what were you thinking … you don’t mess with perfection!

@Maria I totally agree. And I like him so much better with his full on eyebrows. I mean don’t get me wrong this man couldn’t look ugly if he tried. But I love him a la natural.

ITA, do not mess with perfection…”shakeshead”
Carmel
It’s just not right. However, he still shines through. I love the poses in the 1st, 4th and last 2.
Thanks for posting Maria
Vicky
It still beggars belief how anyone could feel the need to photoshop this man,*shakes head*. Having sai that I do think that no.1 and 2 are lovely!! Thanks Maria.
caro
jesus, ive never looked too hard at these photos before…He looks like a ken doll
Martha M
Girls you are all so right. Why mess with perfection??? But none the less like I said “He can never look bad” he’s just to gorgeous.
Michelle
Why why why would anyone EVER photoshop Rob?? I just cannot understand it *shakes head* People are insane.
Have always loved the first three, they are gorgeous. Thankfully they had the sense to at least leave some alone!!
Cindy
Photoshop Rob = You are not right in the head! I agree Michelle first 3 are gorgous, but the rest! They are a bit like that wax figure of him,ugh!..
M.S.
HA I never noticed they were photoshopped, but now i see it, i thought they were odd looking, like he was to skinny or something but i thought it was something small XD in one of them he looks like jeremy sumpter
Maria
LOL @Caro – now you know why I rarely post them, but sometimes you just have to be reminded how dangerous Photoshop really is 😀
ephie
OMG @maria! I never knew these were photoshopped! They always looked “wrong” to me but I couldn’t figure out why…
How can anyone photoshop this man? Don’t mess with perfection people!!!
Jazz
I will never understand why this beautiful man would EVER have to be photoshopped. Some people just don’t know perfection when they see it
lise-lou
Love the profile ones and seriously there must be something more important they needed to be off doing than wasting their time photoshopping the most beautiful man in the world *shakes head*
minette
Shakes head, ladies!!!
if someone in this world doesn’t need photoshop in any way…this is Rob… he is perfect, in every moment and every situation!!!
thanks Maria, some of them looks natural, and the others, like Cindy said, are like his wax figure!
foobs
Bloody idiots for photoshopping these pics.,,,they make Rob look much like a Ken doll….plastic!! They don’t even look like him….how can you improve on perfection? 🙁
