Photoshop is a very popular software, that allows the user to manipulate an image. Photoshop is used by a variety of people from amateur artists to professional companies. In class we went over many tools, like layering an image using the layer tool, or how to edit an image's opacity using the paintbrush tool. I personally think that using some kind of alteration for every picture is fine, but when it is used for false information or to trick someone, then I am against it. Photoshop is often used my the media to mislead people, and that is an example of where I think this software is dangerous. Yes it does create amazing work, but sometimes that work is not necessarily good.
I think that Photoshop does have a negative effect on society, but we are cause of it. We as a society are the ones who use things like Photoshop to deceive others and to mislead people. Photoshop is used to alter the originality of an image, so when we Photoshop ourselves, we are deceiving our own kind of beauty. The media makes "ideal" models of beauty for people to follow, when all it is doing is changing the way people perceive their own beauty. That is not the proper place to use Photoshop. I think that, however, Photoshop could be used in places that involve game or movie productions and editing.
