To most women, their "skinny" body or flawless face is known as the perfect image. However, some viewers don't know would be that they are looking at a Photoshop model with edits. This brought a negative view to the world, as it caused more self esteem of our looks!

I believe that Photoshop gives the users a confidence feeling and self confidence! But does that positive energy comes from your true self?
Not only that, the fashion industry's products guarantees the viewers that their products will help improve their looks to look like their models! Another negative effects is brought once again as it gave an fake impression to weak minded teenager to change their looks.

Photoshop have the one tool that Fashion Industries depend on. Although the uses of Photoshop helps models to look best for their products, it also caused a lot of controversial. For example, in the website, Taylor Swift advertisement on promised teenagers that you have the perfect image through their products. They also note that famous actress and models uses these products too. However, it was not the product that made them beautiful, rather Photoshop retouches! It ask the world, should we trust what the Cosmetic industries display on TV?
Overall, I believe that Photoshop is a tool to present yourself through the best way! However, does it really represent who you are inside? True beauty is both outer and inner beauty.
The use of Photoshop in my opinion depends on the user. With the right hand, one can make wonderful image that doesn't offend the viewers and the models! But if it was place in the wrong hands, there will be more troubles that are caused by a simple tool known as Photoshop!
