Photo Manipulation and Ethics

1. Almost anybody can do it now. Often times photoshopping is no big deal.

2. No colors will be altered rom the original scene photographed, are used to enhance the validity of stories read or viewed in print and online

3. Slightly blurring out the background or cropping out distracting elements on the edges

I think that this image is the most unethical because they completely changed his skin color in an attempt to make him look for menacing. It is also racist because they are depicting darker skin colors as more menacing.

I think that this image is the least unethical because the only thing they did was shrink the image a little bit so that it would fit. They were only trying to make the image look better on the page and didn't try to make anybody think something false like the other ones.
