Photo Manipulation and ethics

The main point of "Ethnics in the age of digital manipulation" is that photo manipulation can be used to fake important events that are put into magazines and newspapers. They are used to make the people think differently or sometimes just for a little April fools joke. The people that do the editing to the photos either get fired or someone else gets blamed, which isn't cool.

It's wrong to lie and fake a picture to make people believe something that isn't true. That's why I think this kind  of photo editing is unethical. It makes me wonder if all of the pictures I've seen in celeb magazines are even real. Who knows? There could be people right now editing photos to make them look like there is a whole different situation going on in the photo.

This definitely is the most unethical out of the bunch. This photo is just totally wrong because Bush didn't even have a debate with Saddam. America is being lied to! Plus you can totally tell it's photo shopped. I say Epic Fail to the editor of this picture. 

This National Geographic cover is the least unethical because It's not really a big deal that the mountains were moved closer together. The editor of the photo just simply wanted to make the cover look nice and fit into the size of the cover. I see no harm in that.
