Like I said earlier I've been doing feature graphics (http://www.threeboy.com/spike/) here and there for Spike (http://www.spike.com/). Given the fast turn around and 'disposable' nature of these graphics (they only last on the site about a week or so) I've had to pull out some quick & dirty gnarly photoshop tricks. Here's a rundown with some before & after shots.
In this this Laura Vandervoort (Canada represent!) feature graphic the photos provided by the client had her in blue bikini's - but not according to Photoshop ;)

The photo I used for the center figure had a person obscuring her (camera) left arm. I just cloned the right arm and fitted it to the left as you see below. The lighting is a bit off but it's small so I didn't stress about it too much. I also didn't bother with skin/smoothing with intense retouching because the graphic is small.

In this Manswers feature graphic we were going for the 'step' ladder effect. Where the breasts would get progressively bigger from left to right. However in the photos that were provided the girl with the biggest breasts was uh, kinda big in other areas too.

So I ended up using some very evil Photoshop trickery to slim her down a tad. I used the clone brush to remove some of the shadows from her midriff and did an overall horizontal squeeze. Nothing too blatant, but enough to slim her up a bit.
Don't believe everything that you see, especially in the Media.
In Hollywood anything goes.
