Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Some main points I read from the article is that photo manipulation is that people have been doing it back since 1910 with Abraham Lincoln and beginning with magazine and body shaping.
           And I think acceptable acts of manipulation towards a picture would be something like cutting out an animal going to the bathroom in the background, or adding a celebrity into a picture for humor. But for me, manipulation draws the line when the editor shrinks the waist of the model, or enhancing the appearance to anyone, in that matter. However, editing out a rash or adding on extra just for the laugh. Maybe someone would want their wounds on legs or arms blurred out or erased for personal reasons. If given permission, then I think it's okay to manipulates a picture. But not for like magazines, or anything publically important.

Modern day, teenagers and adults all equally freaked from the sudden thinning of the waist and confessions of slimming model's stomachs. It was unethical, and a huge rage among society. And I to wasn't willing towards this new pique. Sure it might seem nice to see yourself thin and beautiful with the dreaded acne blurring from your forehead, but it still isn't right and unacceptable towards what someone truly looks.

I personally cannot locate a problem with this picture. Yes, I have read the caption saying that some editor cut the picture for the male and female in different images. But, for me it really isn't that big of a deal. Cutting the picture and adding two on a magazine or an article just seems like a good idea. Like if someone hadn't take enough pictures, cutting one up seems kind of logical.

But after all, that is just an opinion. A photo opinion!
Thanks for reading!
