Warning: this unrealistic image has been Photo shopped.

Photoshop Ethics


A man by the name Valerie Boyer, has proposed a law that would require enhanced images to explain a warning, to viewers making it clear that they are not looking at an original image.  Valerie Boyer believes that the disclaimer would help bring young children back to reality of life and help promote a healthier body image for all with out needing any tampering with. Valerie also stated that photos could lead people to believe in a reality that does not actually exist, and have a negative effect on children.  If this law is passed and advertisers such as press photos, political campaigns, art photography, and photos on product packaging.  Any of these who do not apply by the law will be find $55,440 or up to 50 percent of the cost of the campaign. I believe that this article show that some people are upset because how Photoshop artist manipulate the looks of other women just to make other feel inferior. I look at this law in a positive way because even though how great it is to see beautiful images of women. I don’t not believe I is right to make them look like a Barbie doll just for the publicity of the company no women’s image is worth that.
