Photo Manipulation and ethics

A. Summarize the main points of the story in 1-4 sentences.
Photo manipulation is taken very serious. Several people have been let go and fired due to this. When a photo is manipulated then published, the viewer sees something that isn't really there or true.
B. Explain why you think this type of photo editing is unethical or acceptable.
I think that photo editing is inacceptible in any instances. It is unethical when you are doing it to a photo that is going to be taken very serious by the viewers. Also I do believe if a photo is manipulated there should be a caption of some sort for identifying the change.

A. Post the manipulation that you think was the most unethical, and explain why you think it was unethical.
I believe this photograph is the most unethical because the the university of wisconsin officials edited the photo for the wrong reasons. They wanted to prove that their school was diverse so they added an african american student to the photo. They are not showing the true nature of the school If the student was to have seen the photograph of himself he would probably be shocked at the fact that he wasn't even next to these people at that time. lol!



B. Post the manipulation that you have to consider the least unethical, and explain why you think it is not as bad as others.
I believe this photograph is the the worst unethical due to the fact that the only thing changed was how dark the photo was. The change doesn't really effect what is really going on and the photograph still portrays the same feeling.
