I've seen far too many 'Photoshop diets' than I like to admit in my time working in media. From slim models who are dissected to pin-thin stature to overzealous retouching, tabloids and the fashion industry have combined forces for a killer one-two punch on body image.
These viral examples of Photoshop diets represent just a few cases in which Photoshop and other image-retouching applications like it have been used to remove models' "flaws" and, in doing so, have drawn attention for all the wrong reasons.
