photo manipulation and ethics

A. The passage is about photographers using so much photoshop and how much people think has violations. They think it has violations because the photoshopped missiles and other people.

B. I think photo editing is both unethical and acceptable, it really depends on what they edit in the picture. If they edit another missile, like in the passage, I do not think that is acceptable because those are weapons and they are very dangerous and maybe adding one more to the picture will make the other country think they can't handle them. If there's a person in the back off the picture that isn't important and you don't want in the picture, then that's okay. I do not think adding people who weren't there in the picture is okay though. For me, it really depends on what they are editing and how the picture looks in the end.

This is the most unethical picture because they photoshopped Oprahs head onto Ann Margret's body. This is not okay because in a way you're saying that Ophras body isn't good or perfect, it's not the body that people want to see. Also because you're just using someone else's body as a tool when no, that's their body respect it. Don't use someone else's head and put it on their body. It's using someone else's body as a tool and it's saying that Oprahs body isn't the body that can make the cover of the magazine. 

This is the least unethical picture because all they did was edit her teeth. They made her teeth look better. I still don't like the idea of them editing her teeth because they're saying she has ugly teeth but it doesn't change that much of her appearance and not that much people would pay attention to her teeth because her smile doesn't show much of her teeth.
