I don't believe there will really be a moratorium on the use of Photoshop in the publishing/advertising business. As a matter of fact, I know it won't happen. Airbrushing will still happen and I don't see anything wrong with it. Even having your portrait taken includes some photo editing. IMO, it's silly to believe a make up company is going to advertise a cover-up and use a model with zits visible.
I think a better approach is to teach our children to be smart consumers. If that means "developing a thicker skin" to some participants on this forum, so be it.
There never will be a complete abolition of it however it is nice to see a young person get involved and push for change.

I'm sure the pledge the staff signed does not envelope the ads they put in their magazine for makeup, but purely the content they are creating for the magazine - articles, etc.

I highly doubt that. Most of the articles created for magazines use stock images. The magazine cannot control whether stock images are photoshopped or not. Plus, it is such an industry standard to use photoshop, along with other programs, that it's almost like telling a doctor not to use a scalpel.

I don't think there will ever be a moratorium either and I have no problem with them touching up a zit, fixing a stray hair, changing the lighting or even deciding the model would look better in a different shirt, but I do have a problem with the massive changes made to models and celebrities. There is a tremendous gap in what the public thinks a model looks like based on photos that have been altered and reality. I don't think it's health for our society (girls and boys, and adults for that matter). I would like to see that type of photoshopping curbed or stopped all together.

Are you sure? Because i was under the impression a good portion of the photos are done by the magazines.
I think they arent using models under 16 is all anymore in the main mag.
That sounds right. They all still look pretty "size 0" to me.
