a little bit more than that but yeah. It a HDR [ high dynamic range ] photograph - not actually airbrushing - just having different passes in the
camera and then compositing together varying the different levels to create a "perfect" image.  
 
most digital cameras have a "burst setting" 3 shots back to back at different light settings. this is basically how these shots are created. just
lots of mucking about in a composite program like photoshop to get the right look. 
 
theres a tutorial here: 
 http://stuckincustoms.com/2006/06/06/548/  
 
and lots of other HDR examples here...
