Picture modification can be good, or it could be bad. The good terms of picture modification are, pictures can be edited to look good enough to be presented. This way, if anyone is in need of a nice business card or birthday invitation, they can fix what they don't like. Also, in obscene picture's you can modify out the obsceneties. On the other hand editing pictures can be bad because it can make women look so beautiful that it's fake. Young girls see these photos in magazines, and their perception of real beauty goes wrong. They beat themselves up mentally to try and reach the pedestal that models are put up on, when in reality they are normal people too. Another bad thing about picture modification is you can do practically anything to a digital photo, and people can use that as a sort of blackmail against anyone.
