For the past two weeks I have been posting the Photoshop Corner here.
A corner that quite a few media outlets in Israel and especially abroad have done before me and more will do after me.
With my hand on my heart, I did not imagine that everyone would talk about her, I did not think that was what would happen to her.
According to Yifat, within two weeks, 71 articles were published on the subject: 32 articles on the Internet, 15 on the radio, 14 on television and 10 in the print press.
Exposure value: NIS 8 million, an amount I will probably never have no matter how much Photoshop I do.

This important debate was born online and has not stopped growing.
9,100 discussions on the subject and more than 50,000 likes, according to the company "Scooper", which specializes in monitoring discourse and insight research from the network.
The discourse is huge and the buzz is at its peak, but Photoshop will not disappear from the world.
On the contrary, it is a phenomenon that will grow and intensify and there will be whole generations here who will grow up on filters and retouching.
After all, none of us has the power to stop progress.
Moreover, no one will count or refer to any one Elmalih song that posts a photo on Instagram “without retouching,” even though God gave her the sculpting and smoothing filters naturally, and she didn’t need it in the first place.
The idea of the "Photoshop Corner" was to raise awareness of the phenomenon and talk about it.
The goal has undoubtedly been achieved and with mixed feelings, I feel it is time to say goodbye, at least until next time.
I apologize to those who were hurt by her, thank you to Natalie Dadon and Eden Pines who jumped the discussion despite their opposition to the corner, and thank you very much to you, the readers, for your support, reinforcements and stories that you shared and never left my mind.
