Photoshop

Photoshop is a powerful source of media in our lives, the woman to the left was skinny and looks the way we see some celebrities looking. But to critics she must be flawless, so in this picture instead of making her smaller they had to add meat to her bones, bring the picture in, make her look like she has some breasts, make the arm bigger and change it to black and white. This picture amazes me mostly because all we hear about is how women should be skinny but here skinny crossed the undefined line for women in society.

Many people believe the models we see in magazines are everything we should strive to be. But as we learned a little about in class photoshop plays a huge role in the people we see as "perfect" or "flawless". Like take the example of Christina Aguilera, we all know who she is, she is famous and glamorous in everyshot we see of her. the pictures to the right are of her body that always looks so perfect, granted she does not look bad in the picture on the left but they had to fix the few flaws in the picture to convince people or the press that she has no flaws.
