What pains me most about Photoshopping and self-identity is that it has become the standard of beauty. The unattainable ideal in which all fall victim to. Due to the near-distancing of technology, humans are now capable of being more immersed, yet more isolated now than ever. Their scope of comparison has grown to become the stroke of a few keys. With everything at the reach of a finger, it is possible to tailor every aspect of ones online image. The possibility for perfection makes people who have an unconscious void in their soul feel bad.
On the other side of the coin, there are beautiful options in this digital world of enhancement. Perhaps it is expanding our ideal of what beauty could be! Maybe one day, instead of photoshopping models, they'll have an on-site surgeon with a computer to perform the alterations for each shoot! Don't steal my ideas now...
Hello Doctor, I want to look like Justin Bieber

To be a bit less dramatic (and sarcastic), surgeons learning photoshop could either be good for planning and discussing a surgery.
