Editing, for the most part, is use to fix things in photos. Maybe you take a photo on your phone and the brightness is too high. Photoshop can take that problem off of your hands. It can also help you to edit things out of your photo. This can help if cropping the picture isn't possible. The editing of models in magazines are the main focus of the negative stigma in Photoshop.

The people who read magazines are usually female teenagers and adult women. This creates the dilemma that teenagers are being pressured to look more slim. Teens girls are more likely to develop eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia. Like in the video, the women feel like the edited picture of themselves is a different person. The edited photos of models look very different from the original photo. To summarize this blog post:
