Photoshop to the rescue
Here’s another reason why you need to be careful when looking at men and women in magazines or on Instagram. 99% of the pictures have been touched up in some way or form. Women will use the stretching tool to make their legs unnaturally long, guys will use the swirling tool to digitally suck in that gut.
But more talented photo editors will do everything to make a person fit the media’s standard of beauty. Just so you know, there’s probably not a single person on this planet that fits that standard without the help of Photoshop or, even worse, cosmetic surgery.
