As a result of that law, Getty Images released a stern announcement, effective October 1, requiring users not to submit to the company "any creative content depicting models whose body shapes have been retouched to make them look thinner or larger."

Breaking this law could mean up to six months in jail and a $75,000 Euro fine.
