Hey all,
I would like to ask your opinions about photoshopping in media. Photoshopping is when there are significant changes in the photo for the purpose of deceiving the photo viewer. Examples of photoshopping are removing freckles from a model's face, erasing acne, and changing the color of a model's skin tone.
Nowadays, when you look at ads and pictures on magazine, the models often don't look real. They often look very perfect! Do you ever wonder how they look like in real life?? Do you think the pictures are sending bad messages to teenagers?
What I want to ask you are:
-Can you notice when a photo has been manipulated? If so, how?
-Do you think photo manipulation make you feel more critical of how you look?
I am sure everyone has something to say about it, because photoshopping is used everywhere these days; from brochures to movie posters to CD covers. Your contributions will be highly appreciated!
