Is it a lie?

Dove Photoshop Transformation- In the eye of the Beholder?



Today in class i learned more about photos being photoshop and i was shocked about the information that i received. I learned that about 90 something percent of photos that are put into the magazine or billboards are photoshop. I never honestly knew that this kinda of stuff was happening. Whenever i saw i picture of a model i would think...about how they got their body so fit and how they look so perfect.
Now i more about these photoshop things...it made me feel better. Because i know that everyone out there has flaws that they can't hide but only when they are photoshop.
I think that watching this video i found on You tube was something i might show to teenage girls or girls who think that being like the models on the cover of magazines...would make them have higher self-esteem. When really it doesn't make us feel any better. I Would tell them not to believe what you see in these magazines because half the time, they are not even real.
I think that when Dove comes out with all these commericals and all these pictures of beautiful women, its a lie because when dove produces new products like anit-aging creams or healthier skins lotions....they usually put a model in with the product...making them look natural...when really they are being photoshop in the picture or making them look a little better before they are published into the magazine or billboards or other things.
Well honestly i guess thats just how life is and thats how they make their money today. But i can just that not everyone is perfect.
