The photos we use as guidance for online purchases, dating and everything in-between are
being subject to excessive photo-shopping and retouching. It is unethical to falsify photos we use to verify daily purchases of goods and services.
At The Anti-Photoshop, we believe the end user should know the truth about the photos they are viewing.
Example: When purchasing a hotel room online it is unfair to Photoshop the room photos to look more appealing to buyers. The end result will be a dissatisfaction with one’s stay and unattainable expectations.

Our market is interested in revealing the truth about online photos worldwide. Our tool can be used amongst any of the following markets, business and consumer:

Social Benefits:
One of the main strategies to normalize a distorted idea of “average” is media’s representation of extremely thin women. These images present women so thin that is merely impossible to achieve nor would it be healthy. This image is created by making the models and actresses fit their idea of ideal thinness and beauty through digital manipulation both on screen through computer-generated imagery. This type of Photoshop has a damaging effect on young women everywhere.
Towards the end of 2015, a shocking statistic appeared deep in the pages of a World Health Organization report. It was this: suicide has become the leading killer of teenage girls, worldwide. More girls aged between 15 and 19 die from self-harm than from road accidents, diseases or complications of pregnancy. These high rates are due to low self-esteem, poor self image and depression. Young girls seeing women being desired at unreachable weights and sizes can cause young women’s self image to plummet. With Anti-Photoshop, girls can see what healthy young women really look like and set attainable health goals to not only improve their image but their self esteem.
