Photoshopping Dignity

Photoshopped images are amazing. But when you photoshop someone’s body image, I think it’s not so great. When looking at a photo, I usually think if it looks photoshopped or not because some photos aren’t always what they seem to be. Programs like Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator is causing chaos the way we perceive on how natural beauty should really look like. I believe that businesses and companies Photoshop images to make you feel in doubt and would want you to buy their product and make money out of it.

Many people edit or Photoshop themselves before posting online because of the media. The media is the one to blame for all this nonsense. Many individuals blame the media because they want to change their appearance so that they would want to look like celebrities and such. Celebrities know how the media can influence many individuals in many good or bad ways.

Modeling with celebrities and new or old models baring themselves from Photoshop and make-up is a great idea. It gives the people who are discouraged with the way they look an encouragement of what they are true to be. We see people in real life, their true weight, size, and without make-up right? It doesn’t take us away from liking them. Manipulating photos are very negative because they tell and encourage us that we should be more like them. They way they look, their attitude, their personality, and such. With technology growing, there would be more programs, just like Photoshop, that would be more complex and would be so detailed that you would think it wouldn’t be edited when it really is. This would give the companies the advantage to their products and a disadvantage to society because of the way people who would want to be like in the media.
