The Lousy Photoshop

We live in a digital world, hence things around us are digitalized, and also unreal compare to the old days. And the software Photoshop created by Adobe pioneers the unreal digital world, with the help of his big brother – Internet.Snowpear 雪梨网 - 澳洲中文门户Fs*ID;zp H#}

Now days we see people flaunting their pictures through different online community, happily gathering praise and applause from the rest. And the more the praise and applause are, the more “artificial intelligence” there will be. Snowpear 雪梨网 - 澳洲中文门户jRs,cN(s

I have no problem looking at pictures that have been modified, afterall I like looking at beautiful things, we all do. The thing is, most people will be surprised or shocked if there is a huge gap between the Photoshoped image and the real deal, and that shock will usually lead to disappointment and even fear. Because after you have taken off your digitalized mask which happens to be the first thing that human being look at, all the projections and feelings they had in you, are gone, vanished. And what’s left of it, is this huge imbalance between online and offline, digitalized and real life, gorgeous and plain, or even maybe “I think I am in love with you” and “OMFG, what happened?”(It gets even fiercer the next morning.).Snowpear 雪梨网 - 澳洲中文门户$a4Wt1y)r5A\ e,D C#t

Truth be told, I think Photoshop itself is a great invention, it changes the landscape of our eyes can see, it offers a lot of pleasure to us, no doubt. But the way it’s being used these days is getting more and more alarming. I think soon enough there will be guides online to allow people to differentiate from real pictures and Photoshoped ones because there will be stronger demand from people who have had bad experience or simply demanding the truth more. But that won’t really diminish the popularity of Photoshop and the way it’s being used. Because now days, everyone wants a bit more marketing for their products, and they are perfectly entitled to.Snowpear 雪梨网 - 澳洲中文门户-D5rnv(N*Yx

Funny thing is, I can image the good side of it. With this excessive use of Photoshop turning duck into swan thing happens too often and too much, eventually people are going to go back to the old saying—it’s the inner beauty that matters (Simply because the appearance lies too much.)

In the end I just hope, until then, we still HAVE the inner beauty for people to dig into.Snowpear 雪梨网 - 澳洲中文门户RLy'F_:vM4e
