In a world where social media constantly reminds us of beauty standards, it’s getting more and difficult to fully embrace ourselves and the way we look. We are constantly bombarded with flawless images of celebrities, models, and influencers. All of them are seemingly blessed with perfect skin and body, and a perfectly symmetrical face.

Sadly, all of this affects people’s self-image, especially the young, leaving them feeling inadequate and unworthy. This is why Within Health performed a little experiment. This digital service helps people combat with eating disorders and they recently used AI technology to detect photoshopped areas in celebrities’ faces in magazine covers.

You may know Antti Karppinen for his amazing conceptual photos and photo manipulations. He’s been merging illusion with reality in his work for a while now, and now he’s added an interesting twist to it: artificial intelligence.

Thanks to tools like DALL-E and Midjourney, you can create an image from pretty much anything you can spell. Antti was curious whether it will be possible with his work. Since it’s dreamy and surreal, Midjourney seemed like a logical choice – and it did a remarkably good job!

It’s not a secret that “photoshopping” existed way before Photoshop. Photos were edited in the darkroom, and masters like Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange manipulated their photos that are iconic today. But did you know just how far it went?

Have you ever wondered why people in the 19th-century photos all had flawless skin, thin waist, or posture that seems a bit off? Well, it turns out they also had their photos edited to match the beauty standards, just like people on social media do today.

Until just a few short years ago, pretty much the only serious player in the game when it photo editing was Photoshop. Sure, there was always GIMP, but it hasn’t ever really been a serious contender (sorry, but it’s true). But in those last few years, we’ve seen quite a few potential hopefuls come up and really eat a chunk of Adobe’s share.

One of the biggest names amongst them has been Affinity Photo, which offers many similar features to Photoshop, but also has a few unique tricks up its sleeve. Tricks that some people wish Adobe would pay attention to and add to Photoshop – at least according to this wish list from the Abbey Esparza at Photo Manipulation.

It sometimes seems like the phrase “with great power comes great responsibility” has never been more true than with Adobe Photoshop. Originally released in 1990, Photoshop has grown into an application that offers both the most amazing possibilities ever available to photographers as well as the option to potentially do harm by manipulating images to show something that isn’t real.

Adobe researchers Richard Zhang and Oliver Wang, along with Sheng-Yu Wang, Dr Andrew Owns and Professor Alexi A. Efros at UC Berkeley have now developed a system for detecting some of those manipulations.
