Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. Some main points I picked up on were as follows;
               i. It can cause readers or viewers of the edited photograph to question the validity of the situation in the photo.
               ii. IT can make the photograph look distorted or inhuman.

B. Newspapers such as the New York Times and the Washington Post provide photographers with short-leash guidelines and requirements on how to shoot and edit the photographs that they take.

C. I think you should be able to crop the photograph to focus more on the subject, add or take away the amount of luminosity in the photograph, and make sure that if you did want to edit how someone looked, make sure not to distort it or make it look "too good to be true".

D. I thought this one was the most unethical because of the way that they put it. Basically, it was a complete lie that they had written this, which makes it unacceptable. I mean, she wasn't at an Anti-War Rally, she was a photograph that someone found on Google and decided, "Hey, why not lie to the nation, today?"

E. I believe that this would be one of the lesser unethical photographs because all that the edit has done to the photo, is make the photograph clearer to view and make the definitions more defined and easier to see.
