I have a lot of thoughts on the morality of using Abode Photoshop to enhance appearances of people. Photoshop is used in this way by countless magazines, photographers, and more to make their models look better and I think it is morally wrong. Doing this shows us, citizens of the world, the 'ideal' man or woman, making us depressed and feeling ugly because of these unrealistic and deceiving beauty standards. This method is extremely misleading, but there are times where it is beneficial. For example, many professional photo-shoppers make a living cheering people up by making them look prettier. Also, it's always hilarious to see a face swap with animals or humans; humor is a very widespread way that photoshop is used. I think these two ways are fine as long as they don't go too far. Someone trying to be funny might accidentally offend somebody else, and photoshopping someone to look better so they can post it to social media platforms can hurt others by thinking they aren't pretty enough. This prompts them to hire a photo-shopper and then it happens to someone else. It's a vicious cycle in the world, damaging but also sometimes building up people. A lot of Americans and, really, citizens from all around Earth think this is okay, but I don't. I believe using photoshop to make people appear more attractive is usually wrong and most of the time people should refrain from doing it. Sometimes it can be alright, but most of the time it is malevolent and can make someone very depressed. Summary
