The photoshop effect

Should images of models that have been Photoshopped be labelled? Why or why not?
I believe that images of models that have been photo shopped or edited in any way should in fact be labeled. Photo shopped models are just giving people unrealistic expectations of how people should look when in reality they don't even look the way that they are portrayed in magazines and advertisements. Photoshop is able to make completely juristic changes to people and its lying to people who see the pictures. ESPESCIALLY when someone is in an ad and they are edited. For example, a makeup ad. It is deceiving to anyone seeing the ad who wants to use the product because it looks good on the model because when they get the product and try to use it they are going to be disappointed when it doesn't work like they thought it would. Pictures should be labeled!

 If steroids are illegal for athletes, should Photoshop be illegal for models?

I do not think that it should go that far to saying photo shop should be illegal for models because even though it does change the way they look, it also helps to make pictures look great. I think that there should be a limit onto how much you can Photoshop a model because to some extent its not even the same person. There is a major difference between steroids and Photoshop. Steroids completely effect the performance of the athlete. While Photoshop still changes things on the models that are not true, it doesn't change the way they pose or the way they walk on a runway, they do that on their own.
