As technology advances it makes it easier to alter and change images to create something other then the truth. The big debate is, is it ethical to alter a photo and depict it as the truth? Another question that comes up is how should this tool be used and who's incharge of making limits and rules. Most people will agree that is unethical to publish anything but the truth.
B.
The biggest reason for why people manipulate photos is to get a bigger consumer response, for example photos in tabloids. The Washington Post and The New York Times have rules for each of the photos that are submitted. The first rule is the photographer must submit the manipulated photo with the original one. Another rule is the original color of the photo must stay.
C.
I think it is ethical to do small touchups and small amounts of cropping and levels to enhance a photo but the second it changes the truth I think is unethical. I think once this happens the photo becomes a lie and causes confusion and misperception of the event that is happening in the photo.
D.
I think this is the most unethical photo because it is changing the events that have actually happened. This photo is lying about the location and actions of both of the subjects.
F.
I think this one is the least unethical because the changes that were made were very little. I think that it is still unethical to change the way a women looks drastically to make her fit certain standards. In this photo though the change is very little and Kim still looks like Kim.
