A viral video demonstrates how much images of models are enhanced to look “perfect.”

While the wizard-like software celebrates its 23rd birthday this year, quite  a clamorous crowd is much displeased with its body transforming properties.  Released in 2011 by group Global Democracy, this video demonstrates how  Photoshop may completely alter the body’s appearance to the point where it no  longer looks, well, real. And at an age defined by advertising and mass  consumption, men and women alike are inundated with unrealistic–and often  impossible–examples of the human form at its most beautiful, fit and sleek.

What’s the solution? While the makers of this video aren’t so naive to think  that Photoshop use will ever be a thing of the past–after all, they’re trying to  sell an idea–they do demand that all images of models that have been ‘shopped  come with a mandatory disclaimer.
