Photo Manipulation and Ethics

This post was basically explaining that some manupilation can be bad and cause some photo editers to lose their jobs. It gave some examples of editors that manupilated or cropped something out and how it effected the public and for them to lose their job.
This type of photo edititing is unethical because it's false and gives the people looking at the pictures wrong opinions and make them think that something that never happened... happened. I can see how a little editing of a photo in photoshop can be good, but manupilation is unethical.



I feel this photo is the most unehical because the thought of adding a black student in the crowd to show 'diversity' at their school was wrong. Diallo Shabazz (the black student) was not there at the scene of this photo but the photo but the photo editors put him in the picture because the picture was filled with just white students and they wanted to show the school was not just white.


I feel this photo is the least unethical because when I first saw this, I did not realize that the pyramids were moved closer together to make the picture looks better on the vertical cover. I'm sure not alot of people are going to notice that there is a difference unless they really pay attention to that kind of stuff. But this photo doesn't really effect anybody, just the placement of the pyramids.
