Should there be health warnings on airbrushed/photoshopped pictures?

1 Answer

Answer :

Airbrushing has not been used for years. It is all Photoshop nowadays. I don’t know why people still the expression. As for labeling images of models, all that will do is shorten a model’s working lifespan. Truly fit models will then be in demand, effectively reversing the result that they are aiming for. At the moment girls know that it is probably an enhanced image. If the models were known not to be enhanced, that would worsen self esteem. Aren’t too many “young” models already so skinny that they need photo manipulation to put weight back on?
