Impossible Body Image Part 2
June 26th, 2008
This video is the 2nd part to the Photoshop Effect post from a few days ago, you can check out the 1st here Impossible Body Image
In Part 2 of The Photoshop Effect, diet.com investigates the ethics behind retouching photos and what fashion magazines can do to help bring awareness about the prolific use of photo retouch.
It has been suggested that retouching in the publishing industry face bans, personally I agree with the host who thinks that disclaimers on the photo’s might be a positive step. If young and older women are aware that what they are looking it is in fact not real then perhaps it will have less of a negative impact on how they view themselves.

Thanks for posting our video! We are trying to see if we can actually make a splash in the media and youtube restricted the second one from getting many honors so it’s a huge set back for getting the word out there!

Hi Sarah,
That’s a shame YouTube has restricted the video. It is a very important issue and congratulations to the diet.com team for trying to tackle it.
