What I think about photo shop

So this is what I think about photo shop.So one thing that I think of photo shop it makes your photos look better then it did before.Also,There is nothing wrong with making slight adjustments to IMPROVE a picture, such as adjusting the contrast, color temperature, cropping, etc. The problem is that too many people think that Photoshop can magically “fix” ANYTHING. They think that photography is all about taking a hundred lame snapshots with a cheap digital point and shoot camera, and then “photoshopping” them to death.So I don’t hate image editing in itself. I just hate the way people use it. They completely over-edit pictures so that they don’t even look like real photographs anymore. I remember one time, one kid asked “how is my photography?” and he gave a link to his pictures…they were all completely over-edited to the point that most of them had a horrible orange tint.For some, Photoshop is a way to touch up an image – get rid of a blemish, get a little more latitude in the exposure, or bring out a particular facet of the photo that otherwise would be hidden. The image is what’s important, and making it a little better works.

Some people would say it is good As photography and posting pictures has become more popular, photo-shopping pictures has also become increasingly more popular and common. The most common photoshop seen in the media is pictures of models, actresses and actors being photoshopped in their pictures to look extremely beautiful. Douglas Barry writes about parents trying to pass the “self-esteem act”If the act is passed it will force companies to point out everything that they have photo shopped in a picture. This act is a result of how these airbrushed images have “potentially damaging effects on young women.If this act were passed it would affect the celebs in these pictures who rely on the photo-shopping to keep up their good, but fake image. Although this could be very positive for the girls who would do anything to look like the celebs they see in magazines and on TV everyday. People might finally be okay with who they are.

This model is naturally a size eight, a perfectly healthy size. On the left, you are shown an untouched photo, whereas the picture on the right has been aggressively edited. In magazines and on the Internet (among other places), we are being lied to constantlyAnd many of us know this. We flip through an issue of Cosmo and see pages on pages of immaculately polished men and women. We may think nothing of it, because we know nobody can be this perfect. However, many girls do think something of it. In fact, depression and eating disorders are directly linked to the way women are portrayed in the media. Photoshop is actually incredibly damaging, and does lead to very real, and negative consequences 42% of girls in grades 1-3 want to be thinner. No 7-year-old should be self-conscious about their body. 78% of 17-year-old girls are unhappy with their bodies. And no, that wasn’t a typo. 30% of high-school girls and 16% of high-school boys have an eating disorder. Teenage girls are reportedly “more afraid of gaining weight than getting cancer, losing their parents, or nuclear war.”
