Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. Some points used in the article are that, in some cases, edited photos are used for the slander of famous people or politicians. In other cases, photos were edited so that the subject had more of a socially accepted body figure, which is particularly seen in photos if women. There are also superficial edits, such as editing out blemishes. Some edits are used on the coloring, which alters the perception of the photo. 

B. Those magazines have strict guidelines for shooting and editing that is done to the images used in their print magazines.  

C. I think that someone can edit out blemishes and the red color in eyes caused by the camera flash. Those are superficial things that are not entirely noticeable if you take them out. In the case of editing out the red camera glare in the person's eyes, that helps to make the photo look more natural.

D. 

I think that this is the most unethical manipulation because the edited photo was used with 2 pictures that were used without the permission of both women. This was something that portrayed both women incorrectly. 

E. 

I think that this photo is the least unethical because all that the photographer did was compress the photo to fit the layout of the magazine cover. The overall photo is there, where the only thing edited was the size. There wasn't anything actually edited out.
