Photoshop and the president of Kazakhstan Tokayev

It seems that the interim president of Kazakhstan, Mr. Qasym-Zhomart Tokayev, uses a lot of Photoshop on his face. The two which we will present below have been taken recently and ahead of the country's big election next month.

Images of Tokayev were compared (before and after) by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) on Tuesday, revealing drastic changes in his shape and in the texture of the interim president's skin.

It is not known who edited them, but the photos, which show the President looking better and younger, were published by Tokayev's office on the website government and social network accounts.

The two images that appear to be particularly "teased" with Photoshop are the photos showing Tokayev's meeting with the Russian president Putin in Moscow last month

In photos published by the office of the President of Kazakhstan, the skin under Tokayaev's chin has been digitally "shrunk" and his face also appears to have been "shrunk".

However, photos of the meeting published by the Russian Press and Information Office of the President clearly show a different version of Tokayev.
