Photo Editing Ethics Paper
Photoshop is used everyday, it is used in ads, photos, magazines, websites, etc. Many people have positive and negative outlooks towards this software. The modeling industry uses photoshop a large amount to create photos of models ten times better they make the model skinnier or clearer. I find that doing this puts the wrong image in the heads and minds of kids and teenagers these days causing everyone to want to look like they are photoshopped.

There are some positives and some negatives towards photoshop, some positives are that they can make a terrible image turn into a masterpiece and they can make a company or brand sell more product. Some negatives are that it places a mindset in everyones brains that tells them you are not "perfect" unless you look like this. Photoshop can be used to explain something to someone by creating an image that allows you to show detail.

Photoshop is not always used on people or used to make a person look better, some times people use photoshop for other things such as houses, buildings, plants/flowers, cars, and really any type of item or object. Real estate agents use photoshop a lot to make the house or property that they are selling better, they can edit out power lines or dead flowers or they can add color or trees. Places such as Mc Donalds use photoshop on their burgers and food to make it look better to make the customer want to purchase it. Car dealerships use photoshop to take out negatives in a vehicle such as color fade or dirt.
