Photo Manipulation

1. One main point i read in the article is that unless the magazine says they don't use photoshop you should always assume that they are using it. There are certain rules protecting altering images and you can say you didn't alter an image if you really did. 

2. Some such as The Washington Post and New York Times have much stricter guidelines such as: you have to turn in your before and after photo's if you want your photos to be used in the actual article. 

3. I personally think that its okay to alter pictures to a certain point, and I know it has gone too far when the photo is you put them side by side is you can clearly see that someone made their waist drastically smaller or their butt way bigger its too much. but if you want to make your jawline a little more prominent thats okay. If you change the filter thats also fine in my book. 

4. I think that this photo was the most unacceptable because that's totally Oprahs face but that is a completely different person's face. They didn't eve have her permission to do this but they put it out into the world anyway. It is just totally crazy and mind blowing to me that this actually happened, and I'm very aware that this is not the only time that this has happened. That doesn't make it any less crazy.

5. This picture is pretty acceptable to me, because its really no big deal they just added an extra person in there. They just did it to promote a movie. They just wanted to have a good picture of these two people together and this what they had to do so I see it as totally acceptable. No harm really done in this picture.
