As being a pro creative artist I had done it alot may be 10 to 15 times to make an advertisement for before-after products. Its all technology if you are seeing an ad on print media than it is all photoshop and if you are watching it on TV than rather it might be the effects made by any special effects compositing software i.e. After effects or combustion.
It's all a lie, don't ever throw off your money in these kind of products.

Of course not. In fact, I don't believe ANY advertising I see on TV. Last night, I watched a CBS presentation of 48 Hours Mystery. At 10:26 p.m. the commercials started and ran until
10:37. Then, they ran another four minutes of commercials before the show ended at 11:00 p.m.! Viewers were expected to watch 15 minutes of commercials in a half-hour time frame!
I NEVER watch commercials. And, I RARELY buy products that are advertised on TV. I certainly don't buy products as a result of the TV commercials they air. Just the annoyance and inconvenience of their commercials is enough to keep me from becoming their customer. I buy mostly 'generic' store brands that are just as good as those brands advertised on TV (and sometimes are the very same product with the label being the only difference; and they're almost always priced less). "Brand name" merchandise is a rip off because a large percentage of what you're paying for is excessive executive salaries and all those annoying TV commercials!
Do I believe those before & after pictures in TV commercials? I don't believe anything in any TV commercial. -RKO- 08/06/06

No...well maybe. Usually the product will work for one out of every 10,000 or so that try it. They just show you the one, and probably enhance that one to make it look even better. The advertisers don't show you the other 9,999 people who spent God knows how much money and are cursing the product from their arm chairs.

Sure. By law those pictures have to be true. What else is true, though, is that the people chosen for those pictures not only took whatever magic elixir is being sold, they also ran, swam, worked out at the gym, and modified their diet along with it.

All products advertise, which is the one which gives the best service that is intended to do, is a miilion dollar question.

1) airbrushing
2) computer graphics
3) the car polish doesn't work either
4) Get off the couch and talk a walk. That's free.

Those before/after pics are artfully concocted to sucker you into buying. It's just a bait gimmick, nothing more. God Bless!

No. Even before computer technology it was not that difficult to retouch photographs.

If it's too good to be true, it is. Most of those photos are airbrushed.
