Photoshopped or not

The blog post Photoshopped or not was published in the New York Times. The arthur of the article is Steve Lohr. The article is about if it is good or bad to modify a celebrities picture so it can make them look better or so they can get more famous. The article stated that Dr. Farid is developing a software tool so they can se on a scale from one to five on how much the picture has been modified. I think that it is good that they alter the pictures of supermodels and famous people because it will help them not get criticized by people and it will make their publicity get higher. If they don't modify the picture then the person that is in the picture will not get as many views on that specific picture. If they modify one and forget to do the other one the person that sees the picture will know that they modify the picture and wont believe anything that they see in the magazine ever again.
