John Nack (Principal Product Manager at Adobe) also has a post on this, including a behind the scenes video.
I’m sharing this with all my photographer friends.
I have a love/hate relationship with Photoshop. I love it as a tool for creative expression (I use it for web and e-book graphics). On the flip side, I loathe how it’s used to manipulate and distort people’s expectations.

I’ve shown these to some of her other friends as well, and have gotten the same “WTF!?” reaction. A picture truly is worth a thousand words.
It’s not just a problem for young women, either. As noted in this excerpt from “Bigger, Stronger, Faster,” men are targeted too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQZpVeWsfK4

Your website is my inspiration, great style and thought invoking articles. 🙂
