I think photo retouching has gone too far, it changes the image entirely and makes it a "creation". I think some effects it has on people is self-esteem, you look at that perfect picture and go "WOW!" "I wish I looked liked that". This makes people feel bad about their selves and wishes they looked better, thus forcing them to try and do so with various products and possibly surgeries. I think now that I know about the retouching I look at tv, magazine ads differently knowing that there is a definite chance they're created images. With all the face lifts and re-colouring in photoshop every photo that has a celebrity on is definaltely tampered with. Photo retouching has gone too far, certain people have an idea of what perfect is and they have to create it since there is no such thing as a perfect person. And in the above photo you can clearly see they re-vamped the image, key spots are the wrinkles, shrunken nose, brighter and bolder eyes.
