Photoshopped or Not? A Tool to Tell

Now and days magazine editors use Photoshop for everything. They can turn a 200lb Asian women into a 95lb African american women. They can alter skin color, facial features and more. Most commonly you see weight alterations and pimple removals.
Dr. Farid and Eric Kee are trying to create a tool that shows just how much fashion pictures are photo shopped. This first crossed their minds when they wanted to research fashion magazines. Many believe that this is causing many eating disorders and body anxiety. They would like to have a before and after picture for all pictures.
I'm in love with this article. It shines light on something alot of people are afraid to talk about. I am actually good at photo shopping things, but every time i do photo shop something i have a before and after picture. I also agree that this can cause eating disorders and body anxiety. Teens have this ideal view on what they want to be like when 9 times out of 10 its not what it looks like.
