PHOTOSHOP

Best... photo... ever? HA I think so lol.

Im a big fan of photoshop myself, whether it's for creating posters or art, it's the most useful tool that one can have in the 21st century.
Companies and large corporations have obviously been using it like crazy to get their products out and make the appealing to the market.
The use of photoshop is becoming so common now and so intensive to the point where customers are being blatantly decieved. Will my eyelashes REALLY look like that if I use this mascara? Will women REALLY run to me like that if I use this body spray? It all appears to be a manner of guessing sometimes, trial and error even.
Marketing finds out what people want to see, create it through artificial means (in most cases), and then distribute it with this little lie. If the one goal in marketing is to create value-based marketing, how can this be possible when people are being tricked into buying products that dont really give them the effect that was intentionally 'promised?'
