France aim to regulate ‘photoshoped’ pictures, some other European countries to follow.

If you modified the advertisement shot you should clearly state that under the picture and rate the modification from A1 to A5, if you don’t or if you do not rate it adequately proposed sanction is 30.000€.

Another one! WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS WARN ME THAT I SHOULD NOT REALLY PEEK AT A LINK? Is it that difficult? This is killing me! Are you guys trying to get me banned from [NR] or something? Please, please DO NOT DO THIS!!!

I like this idea, as I don't like to play with my pictures in PS, as for me photography is capturing the moment - just the way it is

What exactly seams to be the problem alphanikonrex? And why are you YELLING?

Sorry—I just don't appreciate viewing content like that, and I'm sure my parents don't either. That's the SECOND one today, and this one had no warning at all! Thank you NikoDoby for telling me I should not view the video!

Well that's just stupid. It's going to be like the health warnings on a pack of Smokes. I'd be surprised if there is a single picture in any advertisement that is used straight out of camera.
At least as photographers, we can teach our daughters first hand how we can use all of our various toys to touch up an otherwise really bad photo. I've seen some before\after videos on the web that I still can't believe.

Actually you missed the point alphanikonrex, some concerned parents are actually running Girlpower initiative in Sweden.

I didn't even bother looking at the second link. The first link did it for me.

So are movies going to have a warning that all the special effects are....just special effects and nothing is real there either?
Though really bad photochopping skills doesn't help

I think Alpha needs a girlfriend or something: But really have you seen any movies lately, I watched Transformer with my son the other day, incl as most guys would say a very hot fox, to young for me, but my eyes are not broken yet
A picture of bikinis etc are not pornographic, but actually part of most people that plan to start shooting portraits for a living. Most of my friends that are pro's here in town have taken tons of pictures like that
What about picture of ladies that are not models, would that be wrong if they had picture taken with only wearing a bikini
Also when I was younger I spend a few days rollerblading along the San Diego beach and the offending picture was no worse in comparison to most girls that we saw along the beach

I thought it was fine. If alpha's folks are going to ban him from the forums b\c of that stuff, then your going to also have to ban him from any news-stand, half the internet including Sport Illustrated, Most art galaries, and the local pool.
It's a global audience out there, and while I don't know much about Turkey, I'll guess they are probably more conservative than London, or at least Amsterdam. So if we can all agree to be mindful of our audience, then we should all get along.
That said Alpha, I'm going to challenge that this is a picture you don't need to see. Like it or not, teenage girls around the world are looking at stuff like this and thinking that it represents what they are supposed to look like. A huge part of that is because its what guys around the world are looking at and responding to. No use digging your head into the sand about it. It's there, and you need to be aware that its there. I don't think a photoshop disclaimer is going to be particularly helpful in combating eating disorders in teenagers, but a little more understanding from their male peers could go a long way.

You're right: there's enough stuff like that in the world. I can't avoid seeing that. But I don't need any more exposure. Since it's very easy to remove [NR] from my life, compared to the world around me, that's what can be done to avoid that extra exposure. I don't want that, and I myself do not like it anyway.
PS: Yah Turkey's pretty bad.

You know Alpha I have been wondering about how old/young that you might be. Anyway if I post something that requires a Alpha warning it will have one, other you have something to offer here at NR

@bmxdad: Now what would a girlfriend do for me? But, like I don't watch TV, I don't really watch movies. Well, at least not the ones you watch. Ever heard of Vitus? Or The Child and the Fox? The last set of movies I watched were The Adventures of Tintin (the french comic character). Otherwise, I don't really watch anything. Don't really have time for that.

Thanks for understanding me :^) I'm just trying to protect myself.
As for my age, you can make a pretty good guess.

Ya you are right, a girlfriend could > relationship > marriage > child > divorce > child support > no money for that new D3s > getting a new girlfriend > rel~~~~ stop this insanity

Wait I thought I was reading the "Girls On Film Video" thread? That's where all of this (girls are yucky warning)started. I've got something to say but I'll say it here instead
http://nikonrumors.com/forum/topic.php?id=688&page=2#post-11429I won't continue to hijack mb's thread and I'll be the one to get things back on track.

While photos such as the Ralph Lauren ad do take things to a severe extreme, people who suffer from an "image distortion" of themselves will pay more attention to what they see in a mirror then a magazine ad. I have known people dealing with eating disorders and the solution isn't as simple as banning skinny models or outlawing photoshop. They will continue to find flaws with their bodies even if you throw away all of the magazines and never turn on the TV. It's a faulty logic that is completely "logical" to them.
