If we lived in the UK, we'd totally shop at Debenhams. Not because they have an entire section devoted to "debut dresses" (whatever those are), but because they've pledged to stop Photoshopping images.

Save for correcting the occasional "pigmentation or stray hair," the company announced that it is done with the trickery. To show just how widespread the use of airbrushing is, Debenhams posted this image detailing all of the different ways photos are retouched. (On the next slide, you'll see the shocking before and after).

Here's hoping other brands follow their lead and pare down the use of Photoshop, because it really is getting out of hand. Proof? Check out these before and after images of celebs and models who have gone under the digital knife and tell us what you think about the ban on airbrushing.
