Photoshopped or Not? A Tool to Tell

Dr. Farid and Eric Kee, a Ph.D. student in computer science at Darmouth, are proposing a software tool for measuring how much fashion and beauty photos have been altered, a -to-5 scale that distinguishes the very lottle from fantastic. says the article called Photoshopped or not? A tool to tell. In this article it talks about places and companies taking pictures of imperfect people and fixing their blemishes and their weight. I think that if you take a picture it should not be photo shopped and also if you take a picture it should just be natural. Maybe you could just change the color, or the tone, don't change the texture of someone's face or if they have a pimple keep it there, because that's just who they are, and once you remove that, its not that person exactly. Its false advertising someone features, and once you see that person in person you will be shocked because they are not as perfect as they are in the picture. In real life when you become a model when you take pictures, the editor or the photographer will edit something about you, or something on you. Or even when you are a singer when you take pictures and choose the picture on your album it is not the same picture when you first took it. I think that editing my picture without my consent would make me mad, I would feel as though there was something wrong with me and it would be giving audiences false advertisements. I also think that when people get their pictures photo shopped deep down inside it makes them kind of mad too.
