"Retouched photograph aimed at changing a person's physical appearance".
This is the health warning campaigning MP Valerie Boyer would like to see displayed on all airbrushed photos.
Mrs Boyer wants to "combat the stereotypical image that all women are young and slim."
She believes the law should be expanded to include "Billboard photos and those on product packaging, as well as photos used in political campaigns or artistic photos"
The fine for enhancing a photo without displaying a warning would be 30.000 Euros or 50% of the cost of the advertising campaign.
Mrs Boyer wanted to make it clear, that this was "...not an attempt to damage creativity of photographers or publicity campaigns, but to advise the public on whether what they are seeing is real or not."
