Kim Kardashian Airbrushed Thinner, Smoother, Lighter (PHOTO)

AnimalNewYork.com grabbed an unairbrushed photo of Kim Kardashian off the Complex magazine website.

The photo was apparently removed, as the photo gallery no longer includes that image.

Kardashian, famous for a sex tape with an ex and her family's reality show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" on E!, appears thinner and with smoother, lighter limbs in the retouched version.

I think she's prettier in the first picture.

Airbrushin­g is every woman's best friend. A quick couple clicks in Photoshop, and you too can enjoy the benefits!

Either way, I think both pics are beauties, but who wouldn't want their thighs smoothed a little in a photo? Realism is for National Geographic­. If I wanted to see "real" women's thighs, I would look in the mirror, not at Kim Kardashian­.

Never gonna happen but I wish they'd do away with airbrushin­g altogether­.

I thank God every day that I still have no idea who this woman, or anyone else featured in UsWeekly, People etc. is.

I've worked as a magazine retoucher for more than thirty five years. No picture you see, except for news pictures, is not heavily retouched. It's nothing new. The only difference is that at one time they were retouching pictures of Marilyn Monroe, Diane Keaton or Halle Berry and now they retouch no talent low lifes.

Don't be a hater. Kim Kardashian is hot! What talent did Marilyn Monroe have again? Oh yeah, she knew how to hold her skirt down during an air draft.

It reminds me of when they photo shopped Condi Rice to give her demon eyes..

Why airbrush her? Her curves are what makes her so hot!!

Sometimes they airbrush the cover so much that I can't even recognize the celebrity. It's hilarious how they make them seem as young as when they were in their 20s even thought they are in their 40's& 50's.

Seeing the un-airbrus­hed one certainly makes me feel better about not looking like that Cindy Crawford pic from this week.

Either way she is still beautiful and her face looks the same so everyone needs to leave her alone and stop being judgementa­l and jealous

Neither picture is doing her any favors....­but she's still a gorgeous woman.

Hollywood is built upon the very notion of fantasy. I'm glad that this has come out and that Kim has responded by embracing her body. It's important we know that airbrushin­g and digital "effects" are a regular part of every fashion magazine cover. That way we aren't fooled into trying to reach an impossible ideal...
