Kim Kardashian spoke out on her blog about her recent photoshop fiasco from a Complex Magazine shoot.
The Photoshop gurus have also sucked in her stomach and banished the baby hairs from her forehead.
Complex posted the before picture on their website and the eagle-eyed folks at Animal New York caught it before it was replaced with the digitally-enhanced image.
A website has posted pictures of Kim Kardashian before and after Photoshop, revealing just what digital wizardry goes into creating those celebrated curves.
Kim's untouched image shows her to be slightly darker in skin tone, with blotchy thighs and with a bigger waist.

Animal New York picked up on the unaltered photo before it was swapped on the website for a slimmer Kim K with a lighter complexion.
Marc Ecko shopazine, Complex, created quite a stir when they released their April/May issue that featured a CGI rendering of Kanye West on the cover, transforming the rapper from a black man into a silver-skinned cyborg. But he wasn’t the only one getting the technological treatment, it looks like their retouchers did a bunch of work on cover girl Kim Kardashian too.

The photo heated up the internet and quickly became viral. Kim Kardashian responded to the controversy.
"So what: I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesn't!?" the reality star, 28, writes on her blog in response to a brouhaha in which a photo of her for Complex magazine was accidentally released on the Internet before editors realized their mistake and quickly replaced it with the official photo of her.
The official picture had been retouched to slim down her famously zaftig figure.
But they didn't make the switch quickly enough. The original photo was snatched up and almost immediately turned into Internet fodder, with some Web sites even showing animation comparing the original photo with the touched-up version.
Kardashian – seldom shy about showing off her body – isn't fazed, saying that retouched photos are standard in the industry.
"How many people do you think are photoshopped? It happens all the time!" she writes, later adding, "I'm proud of my body and my curves and this picture coming out is probably helpful for everyone to see that just because I am on the cover of a magazine doesn't mean I'm perfect." [PEOPLE]
