Their ability to \u201cimprove\u201d a model\u2019s appearance through color correction, skin smoothening and glamour retouching are undeniable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most models have no problem with the removal of a skin blemish through the use of skin smoothening, for example. Increasingly, however, controversy arises when publications take things \u201ctoo far\u201d by altering a model\u2019s appearance to match their impression of \u201cbeauty\u201d. This raises issues of self-image as will be seen from the following handful of examples.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digi5studios.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kate-winslet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4550 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digi5studios.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kate-winslet-221x300.jpg\" alt=\"kate-winslet\" width=\"291\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digi5studios.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kate-winslet-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/www.digi5studios.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/kate-winslet.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Kate Winslet\u2019s legs reduced<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kate Winslet graced the cover of the February 2003 of UK GQ magazine.
