- Some of the main points about manipulating photos that were mentioned included how it is critical that your photos be as authentic as possible. Too much Photoshop on a picture is not acceptable and can result in someone losing their job. Also, social media now days has made it harder and harder to distinguish what has been changed and what hasn't.
- Some newspaper companies have strict guide lines for their workers and their photography such as not altering any colors from the original scene, as well as turning in proofs and portfolios before having their image used.
- I think the only way you're going to get an ethical picture is just to take the picture and leave it alone. In the article it said that any use of alteration tools, such as cropping and blemish reduction, can change the whole aspect of the photo which makes it unethical.
I think this photo is the most unethical because the journalist literally combined two pictures to "improve his composition." This breaks one of the rules about not altering your photo too much because then it becomes unethical and loses its authenticity.
I think this photo is one of the least unethical because it has the least amount of work done on it. The small "improvement" of the woman's teeth is barely noticeable and that may have been the only thing that was changed.
