Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A) Manipulating photo takes away the realism from them. Majority of the time the picture does not portray the truth of a moment or photoshoot. The photo will not look the same as it did in the original or before. 

B) Newspapers like New York Times and The Washington Post like to manipulate photos. They want to sell what they are saying in the articles. Matching the manipulated photo to the story is what they want to do. Also, what's captured in the photo can be attention grabbing to who they want it to stand out to. 

C) Things that are acceptable to me about manipulating a photo is fixing the small things, like a few blemishes or making small details stand out more. I think once you change a body shape or the actual concept of a photo, or photoshop someone on or off a photo, it becomes unethical.
