Airbrushing. 20th April, 2012


I think that airbrushing is acceptable to a certain degree, for example, I believe that changing the contrast and brightness to an image is acceptable, where as editing someone’s features is not. I believe that people should be aware of airbrushing, and that people don’t always actually look like how they are pictured. Airbrushing can have many consequences. For example, it has been known for people to develop eating disorders in order to look like how people are pictured in adverts and in magazines. People begin to feel very self conscious, and in desperate bids to look like the images in magazines, change their appearance according to them. In my opinion, there should be some sort of system so that we know what images have been airbrushed and enhanced; this could be simply done my adding a logo to an image, thus showing it has been airbrushed and this person doesn’t actually look like that.
