QUESTIONS

            1.) What differences do you see?

The differences that I see are; she is more tan, her body is made to be balanced-in other words, her arm is too thin on the first picture, but in the second, it is proportional, her clothes are darkened, and lastly, her collarbone is being highlighted.
2.)  Why do you think they made those changes? I think they made these changes so she can look more “attractive” on the magazine.
3.)  Are the changes to Faith Hill's photo necessary to sell more magazines? I don’t think it’s really necessary because she looks “attractive” before those changes were added to her. However, it depends on what society finds attractive in order for them to really adjust these changes in a certain picture.
4.)  What do you think about this very common practice of using photoshop to manipulate photos for this reason? I don’t think the common practice of using photoshop to manipulate photos for this reason is a good reason because society, especially girls, are being negatively impacted when being introduced to these “perfect” looking photos. Uneducated young girls (teenagers mostly) won’t notice that 99.9% of these photos are photoshopped and fake. And so they’ll try to manipulate what these faces are “doing” to their photos to look more attractive, in which, is not possible, because they are computer-generated pictures. And this will corrupt society and change the definition of true beauty.
5.)  What are the positive effects and what are the negative effects?

Positive effects of these photos: the girl might look slightly more attractive in the second picture, almost looking “perfect”. Negative effects: Young (uneducated) girls will try to be as attractive as her (which is not possible because she is computer-generated) and loose weight, put make up at an early age.. etc. When they get skinny, it becomes a habit of not eating properly and/or regularly and this will affect their health dramatically.
