How brilliant that French politicians are seeing sense and taking steps to protect us from false airbrushed images that make us feel we can never live up to expectations - even though they are fake. Here is link to the article. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/6214168/French-MPs-want-health-warnings-on-airbrushed-photographs.html

This law could be effective if it differentiated the types of retouching processes.
A simple retouching that gives contrast to the picture should not be catalogued as "warning", it is done for artistic purposes whereas those which completely alter the human figure should.
