Photoshop warnings?


























Photoshop can have a social responsibility too. It seems nobody can renounce to the perfection you can gain using this amazing tool, specially fashion scene and advertising.
This is actually building a world made of as unreal characters, whose fame is leading to unreachable beauty ideals for generations of teenagers that are more and more relying on cosmetic surgery.

So far the retouching issue interested just in the gossip magazines, but the social consequence of this banal manipulations recently extended into the political debate.
Specially in France and UK is growing the idea of warnings that should clarify how much the image has been retouched.
