在微博转一圈，你可能会发现到处都是美女帅哥，每张照片放大来看都是那么完美无暇。难道真的是人类基因优化了吗？喔，这个也不是没有可能。不过，据说网络照片有80％以上都是经过PS美化处理的。

the magic of Photoshop

PS generation describes the phenomenon that many people would like to polish their photos to perfection with Photoshop software before uploading them to social networking websites or microblogs, which may show others a man-made beautiful image but at the same time might become a target of online mock too. And frequent application of Photoshop may also lead to a tendency of pretence in daily life, keeping everything real to oneself and pretending to be someone else all the time.

“假面时代”（PS generation）专指多数人将照片用PS软件处理过后才上传到社交网站或微博等网络平台。假面时代除了向人展示伪装后的美丽外表，有时还有可能成为网友恶搞的对象。而习惯伪装照片的背后，很多人更开始伪装自己的言谈举止，把真实的自己隐藏起来，整天以假面示人。
