Giving credit to the artist?

I watched this short video today and  I will definitely be interested in the effect of any laws imposed in France on photo-retouching.  This is a topic that I find totally fascinating.  The idea that even the most 'beautiful' people on earth aren't good enough, and people of all ages are striving towards a completely impossible body image created by digitally altered photos.  It might be the best possible outcome to begin shifting perception of magazine photography from as-is-point-and-shoot to highly-processed-works-of-art.  Giving credit to the retouchers for their meticulous work.
