Photoshop or Not? A Tool to Tell

today in class i read an article about pictures of famous celerbrities and people being heavliy photoshoped in popular fashion magazines and advertisements. in the article it states that the retouching can be slight - colors brightened , a stray hair put in place , a pimple healed. or it can be drastic - shedding 10 to 20 pounds off , increasing a few inches in hieght and erasing all wrinkles and blemishes , done using adobe`s photoshop software , the photo retoucher `s magic wand. furthermore the article is mostly about Dr.farid and Eric Kee , a Ph.D. student doing researching and proposing that it should offer proportions to show how much the photo has been altered. " such images , research suggests , contribute to eating to eating disorders and anxiety about body types, especially among young females".   the research pin pointed Mr. Seth Matlins a former talent agent and marketing  executive was said to be a big part of the self esteem act. Mr. Matlins said “ were not trying to demonize photoshop or prevent creative people from using it. But if a person`s image is drastically changed , there should be a reminder that what you`re seeing is about as true as what you saw in the Si-Fi movie “ Avatar”.

 I think that seeing pictures of favorite celebrities in fashion magazines that shows them with compelet perfection and no blemishes at all is just contributing to some teens and young females feeling low about their seleves since they look at them at see everything they don’t have. Such as perfect clear skin , perfect teeth , beautifuk smile , amazing hour glass body or a very curvy body like famous female raptress “Nicki Minaj”. as I stated before seeing pictures contributes to their low self esteem making the young female feel as though shes not beautiful or good enough to do anything. Thus an eating disorder occurs which either results in death or being very ill. I think that pictures should be labled if their photoshoped because be honest . so many singers and songs were created for people to feel better about their selves and making them feel beautiful. It’s a contradiction for magazines to state what is beautiful and what is not beautiful when their publishing heavily photoshoped pictures of their models. They should lable what is photoshoped and whats not to be honest to their cusmores.
