In the magazine industry, photoshopping is often a way of life.
But actress Kerry Washington said she barely recognized herself when she saw herself on the cover of AdWeek.
The Scandal actress posted a picture on Instagram, saying she was "taken aback" by the cover.
"Look, I'm no stranger to Photoshopping. It happens a lot. In a way, we have become a society of picture adjusters - who doesn't love a filter?!? And I don't always take these adjustments to task but I have had the opportunity to address the impact of my altered image in the past and I think it's a valuable conversation," Washington wrote. "Yesterday, however, I just felt weary. It felt strange to look at a picture of myself that is so different from what I look like when I look in the mirror. It's an unfortunate feeling."
