Absolutely. The photoshopper traced an outline around the women, made that into its own layer, and decreased the color saturation to something crazy like 10%. Which makes the women essentially a black and white photo superimposed on the background (trees) with the foreground of fruit in front of them. Looks like the warm hues in both forground and background have been toned down, too. (Notice the green in the trees isn't a very warm color green, and the juice is oddly pale brown instead of yellow-orange.) But the manipulation of the women is mostly through desaturation, not contrast-- otherwise the whites of their eyes would be too bright. In this case the editing just makes their eyes look light grey.
Professional photographers tweak the settings on their cameras to the conditions and to meet the end result they’re hoping to achieve. Even if it’s not “photoshopped” the odds are slim that there wasn’t anything done to make the skin appear as a very charcoal black vs a dark shade of brown.
I think it gives context to pove it's not a black and white picture and to give a sens of the exposure/brightness of the whole image. It shows that the pitch black skin isn't a result of underexposure, as the other items show up as very bright to the point of being desaturated.
You've got literally the blackest of black people but still you decide to up the contrast? If anything, lower the contrast and warm the picture so that that deep dark color is really visible. Unbelievably stupid photo editing.
very dark but there is some color evening going on. desaturation, they also probably did something with the white balance to get each of the dresses to match. if you notice the dress on the far right has some cream or yellowing to it.
They aren't really that dark. I'm not going to say there's no one that dark out there in the world but really even the darkest black people aren't completely black like this. At the most they're a really really dark brown.
Sorry if this is inappropriate, I will delete this comment of it is, but I never knew there where people out there with such dark skin. I knew that some people are very dark but this dark? Wow, I'm impressed
Google "Nyakim Gatwech" - she's a very popular super dark skinned model, every bit as dark-skinned as the ladies in the picture above, and very popular. Just beautiful.
I have met some black people with extremely dark skin, but they are mostly guys who were genetically very dark who also worked and were otherwise outside really, really often.
Oh god I scrolled way too far to find someone else who saw it too. I was LOLing at the super serious expression with giant buck teeth combo for a good few minutes. The I realised...lip reflection
This photo is a bit exaggerated, but South Sudanese people are basically the closest in the world to being almost literally black. They’re incredibly striking people.
Everyone is worrying about the photoshopping, I'm wondering why they look so sad. Is that normal for Sudan people? Am I seeing something that isn't really there?
You have to be careful about what you say about some ethniticies, they can get super offended at just the mention of their colour. Take white people for instance..
This photo has definitely been edited. Every human have the same skin hue, and very similar saturation, the only real difference being the brightness off the skin.
So you know how a lot of mixed race people have kids and their kids are like "Yeah they could be mixed? Idk though, hard to tell. Maybe they're mixed maybe not"
I went to school with a girl as dark as these ladies. She was obviously adopted by white people, as she spoke with the thickest valley girl accent I've ever heard. She was beautiful, fashionable, super nice and drove a royal blue BMW Z3 convertible.
Anyone who doesn’t see the two in the middle as hotter are basically not attractive to darker people because they can’t distinguish that some are better looking than others and are just pretending to think they’re all hot.
I feel like this is a advertizement for mango juice
They may be pretty dark, but this photo has definitely been touched up. The colors were just denatured. It all blends almost like a greyscale photo
don't think about it. just buy mango juice, dude.
Those bananas look perfectly ripe too
Also, max 1.5 of them are beautiful.
Last time I saw an image like this it was modified, any of that going on here?
Sure looks like it. That banana looks a bit washed out.

very certain it has been edited. those bananas are not banana-colored. This modified to strengthen the contrast between the skintone and the outfits.

Yeah theres gotta be some fuckery going on here. Such a low res image that looks a bit de saturated
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, so yes it's extremely edited lol
Agreed. It looks too modified to look like a genuine photo

Yeah, based on the fruit, there was some desaturation done.
[удалено]
To make them look more exotically dark.
Looks like a filter . Cool beans
Also, calling these women “beauties” feels really gross and colonial. They’re not fresh-picked apples or plump cows, they’re human beings
Banana for scale
I, too, remember 2011.
Is there some significance to the, seeming random, items on the table?
An ad for mango juice
I think it gives context to pove it's not a black and white picture and to give a sens of the exposure/brightness of the whole image. It shows that the pitch black skin isn't a result of underexposure, as the other items show up as very bright to the point of being desaturated.
No way that is unedited.
Correct it’s been edited.
Every African model picture that gets posted here. Then you see their instagram and its normal black.
Blue black skin
This is so offensive. Their called POC *not* "blacks"
You've got literally the blackest of black people but still you decide to up the contrast? If anything, lower the contrast and warm the picture so that that deep dark color is really visible. Unbelievably stupid photo editing.
Just looking at the antialias along their shapes I'm guessing they desaturated them to 0
Is this a juice ad?
Ok…
are they really that dark or is it the picture's color grading?
very dark but there is some color evening going on. desaturation, they also probably did something with the white balance to get each of the dresses to match. if you notice the dress on the far right has some cream or yellowing to it.
Yes

This image is definitely edited to accentuate the dark skin.
It looks like all the colors in this image have been dulled a bit
Admitting to not knowing something will not get you canceled, don’t worry.
This image is edited, but it’s possible for people to have such dark skin.
The fact you think this is an inappropriate comment and apologize for it just shows how sad a state the current culture is in.
Google "Nyakim Gatwech" - she's a very popular super dark skinned model, every bit as dark-skinned as the ladies in the picture above, and very popular. Just beautiful.
That explains a lot about our current society, you being too cautious.
Erh, kinda dangerous to say this today, but I thought that too when I saw them. And it's beautiful
I have met some black people with extremely dark skin, but they are mostly guys who were genetically very dark who also worked and were otherwise outside really, really often.
This is pretty offensive. I don't appreciate your comment about "dark" skin.
Please delete this comment, I do find it inappropriate.
Something a bit off with the color grading, it looks quite desaturated. (looking at the fruits and Green background it seems pretty obvious)
Yes. This.
It looks like they are in grayscale
Orange was knocked the fck out of this spectrum.
Did anyone else think the first woman had big buck teeth at first?
Oh god I scrolled way too far to find someone else who saw it too. I was LOLing at the super serious expression with giant buck teeth combo for a good few minutes. The I realised...lip reflection
This photo is a bit exaggerated, but South Sudanese people are basically the closest in the world to being almost literally black. They’re incredibly striking people.
What is it with all these pictures of photoshopped black women? There seems to be a new one every couple of days.
They are gorgeous :O
Definitely had to take this shot during the day.
You would think that this photo is a dress photo at night.
I feel like they could have a career as a spy or a ninja.
Beauties? Really?
Ah ladies. Ok.
Netflix live action adaptation to the oblongs.
No Photoshop at all ?
There is no way they're THAT black. That's charcoal black.
This pic has to be manipulated. I've never seen people that are actually fully black like that. Is that even possible?
It's real. Some people have a very, very dark blue black skin. Check out this model.
Are there any potential environmental downsides to being that dark?
Only cold dark climates.
One reason lighter skin evolved was to allow more Vit. D production in areas with less sunlight.
Sudan has the darkest skin color of any country in the world
This is cool but that filter is throwing me off lol. Mango juice looks weird af xD
Goddamn they dark af
Holy shit they are like a cartoon
Now That's What I Call Black
Wow they are really dark! Wow.
I wonder what the melanin concentration difference in skin is between them and pale-ish white people
Miles Davis “Bitches Brew” vibes
can someone please put an irish person next to them?
Everyone is worrying about the photoshopping, I'm wondering why they look so sad. Is that normal for Sudan people? Am I seeing something that isn't really there?
Gorgeous!
So beautiful and amazing it's unbelievable!!!

My favorite part of this dumb comment is you whining about downvotes but playing it off like you don't care.
[удалено]
No one cares about your dick. Not a single person. No one cares.
Nobody asked
You're a racist and homophobic bigot
Beauty isn't defined by whether or not you personally like something.
what's on the plate though. is that bread? What is this ad for haha
This photo has definitely been edited. Every human have the same skin hue, and very similar saturation, the only real difference being the brightness off the skin.
What exactly makes their skin so extremely dark? Or is it just the makeup they're wearing that's making it look that way?
Edited and melanin
Purpose of this post?
Its a pic?
Sup
Are bananas for scale?
Like Carved from a beautiful stone. Wow
Really?
Banana for scale?
Wow! Perfect skin, so beautiful
so gorgeous 🤩
Never heard of that sub, it resonates so well with this lol.
Here's
WTF you are downvoted for postng a link to an article on the photo?
Without that banana for scale I'd never know how large they are
I'm suddenly in the mood for some fruit cocktail.
That's oreo without the white
So you know how a lot of mixed race people have kids and their kids are like "Yeah they could be mixed? Idk though, hard to tell. Maybe they're mixed maybe not"
Is the banana for scale really necessary?
VantaStic
Biologically, what is the reason for these people being darker than, err, average? If you know what I mean.
Edited and melanin
Beautiful
Am I the only one that finds these "X is beautiful" posts ridiculous?
Mesmerizing black

Easy there, Buffalo Bill.
Just don't
Carved from Obsidian. Fucking stunning!!

I sorted by controversial and found your awesome strawman.
Darkness!
Wow clearly nobody likes a Chapelle Show reference
https://youtu.be/EuYYRrpH2mI
Humans are really cool
What are they going to do with the banan?
This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels.
way jacked up contrast
clearly desaturated and the women look cut and made monochrome.
[удалено]
overtoke
That is some good looking mango juice
Holy contrast!
The light glare makes it look like the left one has buck teeth
The colors have definitely been messed with
I’m 99% sure that the saturation was turned down quite a bit in post regardless of the wonderful skin tones these ladies may have
I went to school with a girl as dark as these ladies. She was obviously adopted by white people, as she spoke with the thickest valley girl accent I've ever heard. She was beautiful, fashionable, super nice and drove a royal blue BMW Z3 convertible.
I can already imagine the highlight for
This has to be edited right? They look like the black and white filter
ok thats cool
Made of real licorice!
Is the glass 1/4 full or 3/4 empty?
I met Anyuak people when I was in Paris. I was mesmorized by how literally "black" their skin is. Just amazingly beautiful imo. Like Coal.
I’d like to.
Oh cool, I wonder where they are from
The title says South Sudan.
Got damn stunning as hell
Smile
Pure beauty...🖤🖤🖤🖤
Anyone who doesn’t see the two in the middle as hotter are basically not attractive to darker people because they can’t distinguish that some are better looking than others and are just pretending to think they’re all hot.
I mean, these girls look incredibly good.
wakanda!
Beautiful
Gorgeous women
They look so majestic
Wow!! Stunning!! The incredible blackness contrasting with the white dresses.
"beauties"
VULKIN LIVES!
They look really beautiful!
Wow they are beautiful
This pic is a little dark for my taste.
Props to OP for providing scale.
Now that’s a lot of pigments
What are we having?
Holy shit they are damn dark. Really cool seeing these sort of complexions would be cool to see them side by side with a really pale group.
They are stuck on the 20's
Nice.
Kenshi vibes
I have to admit to sometimes having stared at people with extremely dark skin. It looks so amazing!
I bet they absorb all electromagnetic radiation that incidents on them.
Striking beauty and eye-catching contrast in a way that let me see how beautiful they are, on a normal set.
