Editing Photograph manipulation (section)

=== Opinion polling ===
A survey done by the United Kingdom-based fashion store [[New Look (company)|New Look]] showed that 90% of the individuals surveyed would prefer seeing a wider variety of body shapes in media. This would involve them wanting to see cover models that are not all thin, but some with more curves than others. The survey also talked about how readers view the use of photo manipulation. One statistic stated that 15% of the readers believed that the cover images are accurate depictions of the model in reality. Also, they found that 33% of women who were surveyed are aiming for a body that is impossible for them to attain.<ref>{{cite web |title=Women Need Further Educating Into Extent of Digital Manipulation of Mo |website=[[PRWeb]] |date=26 November 2013 |access-date=19 April 2015 |url=https://www.prweb.com/releases/women_need_further_educating_into_extent_of_digital_manipulation_of_models_in_mags_new_look_survey_finds/prweb11361783.htm}}</ref>

Dove and People Weekly also did a survey to see how photo manipulation affects the self-esteem of females. In doing this, they found that 80% of the women surveyed felt insecure when seeing photos of celebrities in the media. Of the women surveyed who had lower self-esteem, 70% of them do not believe that their appearance is pretty or stylish enough in comparison to cover models.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/post_2329_b_932086 |title=Why Beauty Ads Should Be Legislated |last1=Matlins |first1=Seth |date=2011-08-22 |website=HuffPost |language=en |access-date=2020-04-23}}</ref>
