In class we have been discussing photo manipulation over the years and how all images today are altered in someway. With the creation of Photoshop we are able to alter an image with ease and this can lead to drastic changes from the original image. A recent controversy dealing with photo manipulation has been the promoting of the film The Heat and how Melissa McCarthy is almost unrecognizable in the promotional poster. Her eye color has completely changed, her skin is ridiculously smooth, and even her facial expression was altered. I believe Photoshop has been abused and overused in the media today to the point where people don’t even look like themselves which is a major problem.
