How much of photos in the media is photoshopped?

Question

I know that its probably all, but is there any official or credible source( say news article) that actually states so, are there truly any model that looks beautiful without any photo editting?

Answer 1

I can't imagine you could ever find conclusive numbers on this, because it would be hard to draw the line, i.e. at which point does the editing have to do with the model as such.

No doubt every single photo in the media/on display is edited to some extent. Every type of photo (landscape, product, portrait) has some adjustments made it to, like hue/saturation, levels, curves, dodging/burning, sharpness etc.

Does THAT count already, or does it need more ..... like cloning things out?

Taking away a single blemish on someone's face is a far cry from the totally radical transformations that are also done via PP on a regular basis.

You would first have to very carefully define your definitions before you could hope to find an answer.
