Is photoshopping benign and irrelevant, or damaging and indefensible?
Media Action's current project is looking into the practices of photo-retouching in advertising. We want to know if magazines should be allowed to graphically enhance photos that accompany ads for anti-aging creams. Check out our campaign page for me information, and get in touch if you'd like to get involved.

Welcome
