Impacts of Photoshop

Impacts of Photoshop

Photoshop is a very useful tool used in the media world to create or edit pictures or a design of some kind to be used.

Positive:


  • It can be used to get rid of a blemish on someone such as a mole.
  • Magazines can have a more attractive cover that can appeal more to the eye. Which means the magazine will sell more.
  • Make people look more attractive who are on the cover. Meaning the magazine will sell more.

Negatives:


  • People are given a false idea of what someone actually looks like before Photoshop is done. 
  • Can lead to problems like anorexia, girls trying to look like a model as that's what deemed as being attractive.
  • Can lead to a negative perception of someone, the general public will have a expectation of what someone looks like when in reality they are completely different.



There is also a gif of Jennifer Lawrence before and after on a magazine cover.  You can see the differences and what has been edited.
