After reading all these things about Photo Shop it was amazing to think of what gets changed and goes unnoticed on a daily basis! I am a complete freak for gossip magazines, but shocking to me was that people magazine was able to Photoshop a picture of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt together to make it look like they were together! Some people would see that cover and never think twice about what they saw and the thought that it could be an altered image. What really bothers me is that we don’t have any nationwide laws against things being published. Most upsetting to me is the fact that people came change and alter pictures of American troops overseas. Out of respect for those risking it all so that you can sit here in your warm house on your fancy computer and alter those pictures, you wouldn’t disgrace their names and their values because you think it would be funny.
It’s just amazing what America has come to these days. America is preached as a free nation with freedom of choice however, you give people too much of an opportunity to all speak their mind and do as they personally feel, you lose creditability as a person in regards to allowing people to do as they please. It becomes a big joke and there is no definitive line separating the truths and the lies. Who do you believe?
In a court case, can you put up a big enough argument that no video or pictures should be used as the defendant you feel like the photos and videos may have been altered by anyone at any time? How do we maintain that level of honesty in such a large independent nation? What sources can we trust to be creditable? The Website for the History of Digital Tampering in the Media, Politics and law had some of the most wide-know journalist companies our there! If we are getting lied to on the front cover of Time, Newsweek, TV Guide, Redbook, Star, Men’s Fitness and National Geographic who can we trust to give us the real picture, the real information.
I took complete offense to the DOVE commercial. I love that they promote real beauty and real women. The Photoshoped, warped look of the girl after several hours of hair, make-up and on screen air-brush she looked beautiful and fake. That’s not what women want to see! Women care about using a product that works on real women. Not something that works on a supermodel who never had the problems before anyways. Photoshop can be a very devious and tricky thing to detect. We need to find a better way to hold people accountable for their changes.
