Photoshopped or Not? A tool to Tell

In many pictures of celebrities in advertisements and magazines pictures are touched up or photoshopped. It removes wrinkles, blemishes, and pimples, takes off weight and lengthens height. But are they touching up the photo a little too much? Dr.Farid was interested in it after reading photo-labeling proposals. He wants to be able to start using a measuring tool to tell how much a photo has been touched up. I think overly perfect images of women in a magazine and on TV can cause eating disorders; they may see their self in a magazine, online and on TV and see how much smaller they look. They would want to try and stay that size or be the size they look in pictures that are touched up.  I don’t think altered images should be labeled to know how much the picture has been changed because it would mess up the person’s reputation by them being popular about how they look. Its suppose to be done so it looks real and if the tell how its been edited people would get the impression that most people in magazines don’t look how they look in real life. Many people already edit their pictures to look better on a lot of other websites than Photoshop, you’ll never know until you see them in person. I think retouching photos can help a person mentally. It will have you feeling good and boost your self-esteem up because you may think you look bad. In magazines, looks and body size matter. If it didn’t, all kinds of people would be in it and many readers wouldn’t like it. So touching up photos is good and for trying to get that look that everyone wants.
