We read a article in class about people who work in computer science who want to create a software tool for measuring how much fashion and beauty photos have been altered. There will be a 1-to-5 scale that will be able to tell how much the photo has been altered. Doctor Farid and Eric Kee, a Ph.D will be putting the program together. They are putting the program together because some places want photos to be labeled with how much photoshop that as been applied to the photo. What they are doing is intended as a technological step to address concerns about the common use of highly idealized and digitally edited images in advertising and fashion magazines.
Mr. Matlins said, "We're just after truth in advertising and transparency." He also added, "We're not trying to demonize Photoshop or prevent creative people from using it. But if a person's image is drastically altered, there should be a reminder that what you're seeing is about as true as what you in 'Avatar', the science-fiction movie with computer-generated actors and visual effects."
Ms. Seymour said, "Readers aren't fooled if you really sculpt the images. If you're a good editor, you don't go too far these days. If you give someone a face-lift, you're a fool."
They think that people could develop disorders for wanting to be like people in the magazines. Well, I don't think that if people look at it that way then it will be able problem. I also think that people will always want something they can't have or something they can't be. No tool can fix that. Maybe with photoshop they are feeling like they are making the photo more appealing to the people who are looking at the photo.
