Faces become smooth, boobs become bigger, stomach fat disappears, eyes and hair get colored. There's hardly a single photo in a magazine which hasn't been "retouched" before it was published.
Maybe if they didn't feel obligated to Photoshop every single image, 12 year old girls wouldn't be so desperate to get cosmetic surgery...

I used to think it was cool. Now I'm closer to thinking that Photoshop is destroying society.

Great link, thanks for that. Of course magazines have always presented unrealistically perfect looking people by means of unnatural lighting, makeup, and simply picking the unusually good looking to be models. Photoshop has taken that to a new extreme, but the "artform" of making people look better for photos was already very far along.
I have sympathy for the young girls who genuinely are naive enough to think there's something wrong with them for looking perfectly normal. But I see more hope in educating young girls (and boys) on photo manipulation and other tricks, then getting the industry to throw out the craft they've painstakingly developed over several decades.
I mean, come on! Where would the internet be without the phrase "pics or it didn't happen!"?

The good news for them is eventually these algorithms will be real-time, and all physical interaction will be obsolete, so it won't matter what we look like since all our blemishes and imperfections will be corrected on the outgoing feed.
It's not to say tech can't be used to create amazing images... but as mentioned above, the problem is it's insane overuse. Such that it seems to have been decided that texture in skin is 'out' in favour of the horrendous smooth look of a photoshopped face.
Very sad.
So sad... stupid dicks who think that everything must be smooth and blemish free...

I mean, come on this is nowhere near as cute and endearing as this.

Usually I have to add blemishes and stomach fat to my pictures so that people don't think I've been photoshopped.
Damn this is rad.
