These are my body distortions. Many media outlets, such as magazines, newspapers, websites, movies, and television use Photoshop to “distort” the image of celebrities. I am not exactly sure how I feel about this. In some cases, it is perfectly acceptable. When editors use Photoshop to touch up minor defects or imperfections, that is perfectly acceptable. But when Photoshop is used to completely change the look of someone, that is going too far. Making someone look thinner, younger or “more attractive” is not right. Many people, including young people, look at these pictures and think that that is what they have to look like. It creates a standard many people try to live up to that in reality, is not even real.
