Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A.) Many photographer use Adobe Photoshop and/or other similar programs to manipulate photo to make them look better and more interesting. Its is an offense here in the U.S. but many photographers in the Middle East are manipulating their photos. Many photographers are getting fired because of there manipulation of photos.

B.) I believe it is very unethical and unacceptable to manipulate photos. Photographers who manipulate photos are deceiving people, and making it hard for people to believe whether everything in a photo, or the whole photo is real or not.

VERY UNETHICAL

February 2003: Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush did not debate, but appeared to in this cover shot.

This photo is very unethical because this never happened. The Daily News are deceived people minds by making them think that this really happened when it didn't. :( VERY BAD ):


LEAST UNETHICAL
February 1982: The pyramids were moved closer together to accommodate this vertical National Geographic cover.

This photo isn't as unethical as the previous one because they just moved the pyrimids closer together to make the photo look better. It isn't hurting anyone:)
