Do you think it is wrong to alter/manipulate a photo? For newspapers etc..?

Question

please explain

Answer 1

In the context of journalism or the law, it's absolutely wrong.  There's this thing called integrity that is supposed to be a value of journalists and those who work in the legal profession, so any type of alteration or manipulation of a photograph is alteration or manipulation of the truth.

Answer 2

I believe that altering the content is wrong. I don't have a problem with digital spot touching, though.

Answer 3

The technology is making this quite an argument. You can change someone's eye color if you want.

For a news outlet, it's obviously a bad idea to alter a photo. You want people to trust it. But you can crop a photo in a certain way to make a point or to increase the drama. So you have to be really careful about these things, because deception is possible.

Answer 4

If you are representing the photo as real, then of course it is wrong to alter or manipulate it.  

If you are just making a portrait, you can do what you want.

Answer 5

Yes ,It's very deceitful.
