Chances are 99% of all the photos you have of yourself suck. Well, maybe not suck. Just reek a bit. Maybe the skin’s a tad pale. Or there’s a stray hair going out the nose.

If that sounds like you, you need a bit of photo magic skills so you can doctor the images and make yourself look like a model. Imagine the benefits: your friendster profile gets more hits, your resume gets more calls and you feel better in your driver’s license.

I recently purchased Mark’s 101 Awesome Photo Tips and got my mojos out of it. For $67, I was treated to scores of special effects demoed on video and adroitly explained by an overly enthusiastic guy with lots of hair. I kid you not. In 30minutes, 10 of my stuffy old photos suddenly glowed with life.

Like a pale pic of myself suddenly superimposed on tbe foreground of a Ms. Universe Pageant. But that wasn’t just it: I sported a healthy tan, literally glowed with a dazzling aura and my eyes took on an azure hue.

I literally looked like a model surrounded by delightful dames!
