Photoshop.

This article is about how some celebrities photoshop themselves to make them look skinny and better looking then they actually are. Photoshop can take away pimples off your face and even make you skinny. It can change your appearance in amazing ways. Photoshop can make a unappealing person look gorgeous.  Dr. Farid and Eric Kee are proposing a software tool that will measure how much the photo have been altered or touched by photoshop, They are making the scale 1 to 5.

I think that altering a photo to make it look like women are perfect will definitely make other women self-esteem low, ex specially teenagers. If a teen looks at a picture of there role model or a picture of an actress that gets a lot of attention they would want to be like them and look like them. If the person there looking at in the picture looks flawless and super skinny the teenager would think their fat and would probably starve their selves or throw up. Teenager girls are very insecure and they want to look like girls that get a lot of attention so they would do whatever they can to reach that goal. If the actress they are looking at isn't even that skinny in person why would you want a child to think their fat or not appealing.

I think altered images should be labeled that it was altered in the magazines because teenagers would get depressed and insecure about themselves so if they know that the picture isn't real, they wouldn't really care.
