The links above leads to an article discussing airbrushing and how it is available for everyone to practice now. You can't tell what is real and what is not anymore! There is a piece about a woman who was digitally fixed and includes a "before and after" photograph to show the significant differance after airbrushing.

This article includes a timeline beginning in 1860, when digital editing already had begun and leads all the way to 2007. This shows how photo editing is extensively practiced and grew more and more popular over time.

This article discusses fairytales and how they can influence a child's self esteem before they even learn right from wrong! The Princesses in the fairytales are unrealistic and appear flawless just like the airbrushed images in the media.
