Photo Manipulation and ethics

Ethics in the age of digital manipulation

The article was pretty much about that you can take a picture and if there happens to be a mistake or something, you just don't like in the picture, you can just change it. It's easy to loose your job over something like changing the photograph; it changes the "realness" of the photo. And pretty much makes the picture not real.

I don't believe the manipulation is very ethical. It makes the picture unreal whether it may look real or not, because it's changing the original picture to something that wasn't even taken. It can make the picture look better but that doesn't make it right. It just makes the picture fake.

To me, this picture is the most unethical. It completely put a person in there that wasn't even in the photo. They randomly put the this black guy from out of the nowhere in the picture. Who knows why..

 

This photo is the least ethical to me because the photo actually looks better. It shifted the woman walking on the left side of the picture, which also works as the rule of avoiding mergers. It also makes the picture have a better lighting focus.
