Video Response

Watching today's video about the digital enhancements done on photographs in magazines was really crazy for me to think about. I really think that these pictures do have a great affect on women, especially on the youth of our country. This is most likely why people turn to eating disorders and unhealthy dieting. It makes it hard on women and girls to look at a picture of the unachievable, this was clearly stated by the person doing these touches that it was almost next to impossible for women to look like these images.
One idea that was given in class was to label these images as retouch. But when you think about 99.9% of these magazines photos being retouched then it will probably be next to impossible to label all pictures. I think it would be almost next to impossible for anyone to label a celebrities photo as well. Celebrities makes millions on the way they look and not for one second would they allow for their picture to look less then perfect. So I kind of feel that this solution wouldn't happen and wouldn't fix the greater picture of what is happening as a result to these photographs.
