Photoshop

Procter and Gamble have pulled print advertisements featuring Taylor Swift wearing CoverGirl NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara, but it’s not because of anything the 22-year-old country beauty did or didn’t do. The images were “enhanced in post production,” meaning they were Photoshopped to expand upon the makeup’s effect. That’s a no-no, according to the Council of Business Bureau Claims.

These days, it’s almost unheard of to see a celebrity photo that hasn’t been airbrushed or otherwise digitally manipulated to make the person in the picture look nearly flawless. While they may make pretty magazine covers, two researchers are proposing a ratings system to let people know exactly how much a photo has been manipulated.

We can’t all go to Endor, the Ewoks’ home planet in ‘Return of the Jedi.’ However, we can at least imagine that hanging with the furry ‘Star Wars’ cuties would make for one of the best vacations ever.

The American Medical Association is taking a stand against Photoshop. For decades, photo manipulation software has been whittling the waists and thinning the thighs of celebrities and models, and the AMA says it’s caused unrealistic and unhealthy body image issues — especially among children and adolescents.
