photoshopped or not ?


This article Photo shopped or Not? A Tool to Tell is an article that shines a light on the fact of photo shopping. Dr.Farid and Eric Kee help us understand the good or bad issues to modern day life from using Photoshop. Dr Farid and Eric Kee are so, involved with their idea they are proposing to get a software tool to measure how much photos have been edited on a scale from 1-5 which is highest effect to lowest effect. They also talk to many experts “ Were just after the truth in advertising and transparency.” Said Seth Matlins, he went on to say were not trying to demonize Photoshop or prevent creative people from using it. I totally agree with the teams Idea of meaningful photo shopping but I disagree of the fact of them wanted everybody to join this idea I disagree with this idea because its as if its a forceful thing to make someone decide want to join an anti group.

I believe that the article was to express their feelings on Photoshop and the bad or good things it can bring to the community, from putting people down to making very creative people happy over their creative ideas. This article was a great way to express there thoughts on these ideas this was the right way to do something in this form, it was straight forward and to the point. I agree with everything except the idea of promoting the idea to every body. Also I believe this will not help the fact of obesity.

  1. Why do you disagree with labeling photos based on how photoshopped they are? Do you think it will not reduce eating disorders?
