Default Great social commentary on use of Photoshop in media

Just came across this powerful video about Photoshop's impact on our perception of body image.

Worth checking out, and I think the way the filmmaker conveyed the problems in a short, tongue-in-cheek video is brilliant.

That is a great video. It's crazy how they can edit pictures so that it looks totally different than the real person. Society as a whole needs to see that the images of many people in magazines (and other media) are really edited. They need to see that they are trying to fit a set of fake standards created by photo editing.
