Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. What are some of the main points you read about in the website above regarding manipulating images?
You can't manipulate a photo too much where your guessing if it's ethics or aesthetics, art or journalism.

B. What is the philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York times regarding image manipulation?
They have strict editing rules and they have to keep the same colors.

C. What do you think are acceptable things you could do to an image and not cross the line unto an unethical manipulation?

Some things you could do would be to change the color, but not too much as too where you could really tell but just enough to get the correct lighting you want. Another thing you could do would be to move a strand of hair or something small that you don't like in the photo. 

On your blog

D. Post the manipulation (this means get that image and post it on your blog) that you think was the most unethical, and explain why you think it was unethical. If you do not know what the word ethic or unethical means, look them up on the internet. It is very important you know what those two words mean. Please write at least 2-3 sentences explaining why you think it is so bad.

This photo is unethical because they took Ann Richards body from a picture previously taken and they took Oprahs head and put it on her body. This is unethical because you can tell this isn't Oprahs real body. 


E. Post the manipulation that you consider the least unethical, and explain why you think it is not as bad as others. Please write at least 2-3 sentences explaining why you think this one is not so bad.

I think this photo is the least unethical because they just changed the color of the photo. I don't think it is as big of a deal as the Oprah photo.
