Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. What are some of the main points you read about in the website above regarding manipulating images?
I learned that many newspapers and magazines photoshop the pictures. They do this because they think that the person/people photographed are not aesthetically pleasing so, they make them look thinner and more attractive. And, most of the time, they don't even inform the people that they are photoshopping them. 
B. What is the philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York times regarding image manipulation?
They are very strict about which photos they can photoshop and which photos they can't. 
C. What do you think are acceptable things you could do to an image and not cross the line unto an unethical manipulation?
I think that they can change the colors and lighting of the photo and possibly edit out things in the background. But, that should be all. 
On your blog

D. Post the manipulation (this means get that image and post it on your blog) that you think was the most unethical, and explain why you think it was unethical. If you do not know what the word ethic or unethical means, look them up on the internet. It is very important you know what those two words mean. Please write at least 2-3 sentences explaining why you think it is so bad.
I think that this photo is bad because it is a totally different body. That is not Oprah but, simply just her head put on someone else's body. i think that this is terrible because they magazine informed neither one of the girls and they made Oprah look completely different.


E. Post the manipulation that you consider the least unethical, and explain why you think it is not as bad as others. Please write at least 2-3 sentences explaining why you think this one is not so bad.
I think that this photo is the least unethical because they only edited the coloring of the photo. Although, the photographer did lie about the original coloring which isn't good.

9/11 Images

                                                                         Simplicity This photo shows simplicity because of that exactly, it is simple. From everything that is happening in the moment, the photographer managed to capture this. In some way, it is calming. The way the man is frozen in time. The Rule of Thirds  These photos convey the rule of thirds because the subject is in the side of the photos. They are both at the bottom left.   Lines  This is showing lines because of the American flag and the light shining in only that one spot. The light brings my attention towards the flag and the flag has lines that pull your attention towards the debris.  Balance  This photo shows balance because the people are walking the same way, and everyth...
