I came across an article about the pictures used in Dove’s “Campaign for Real Beauty.” The article talked about a profile in the New Yorker online about Pascal Dangin.

According to the profile, Dangin is “the premier retoucher of fashion photographs.” In the article, Dangin makes a comment about having retouched some of the photographs used in Dove’s campaign.

Since learning how to use Adobe Photoshop I haven’t been able to look at images without wondering if it was altered in some way. I think that Dove really needs to look into the situation and get some answers. Are the pictures real or were they altered?
