Photo Retouching

I believe that photo retouching has most definatley gone overboard. At first it was very usefull when models may have a temporary flaw on their face or something and that could easily be airbrushed away, but now it they go way overboard when retouching to the point where these arn't even these peoples real bodies. It has also altered the way I look in photos in magazines because now I know that in most cases these models have been retouched to look even thinner than they already are. I think this could be actually quite harmful for people who read these magazines who see these non-realistic images of extremly skinny people. This may also make people who are maybe not that size feel bad about themselves and affect their body image in a negative way. Personally I dont mind photo retouching but to a certain extent.

  1. this video is intense i agree that now photo retoughing has gone too far but i find in this video they arn't changing there bodys they change facial expressions and shading and coulors that are more appealing and i think it's odd that whats appealing is always fair skinned pale people like the little boy looked kinda sick to me cause of how thay changed him
