Soon we will start using Photoshop to adjust and edit photos, but before we do that, it is very important that you understand what changing photos means and how that impacts the public. Remember this is a Photojournalism class, not just a photography class. The hope is that you will eventually join newspaper and/or yearbook and when you do, there are "rules" about changing photos. Here we will look at what has been published around the world and the impact of changing photos. There is a time and a place to change photos. Let's start that discussion here:
1. Read the following story about examples of photo manipulation.You only need to read the first part of the story, you can stop when you reach the subheadline titled "Advice from Pros".
When you are done reading, in the top left corner where there is a photo of a missile launcher, click the link near the bottom of the photo called "Launch". This will open up a series of photos. You need to look at each of the four examples. There are before and after photos, so you need to see both of them.
On your blog
A. Summarize the main points of the story in 1-4 sentences.
B. Explain why you think this type of photo editing is unethical or acceptable.
2. Look through the example images on this page:
On your blog
A. Post the manipulation that you think was the most unethical, and explain why you think it was unethical.If you do not know what the word ethic or unethical means, look them up on the internet. It is very important you know what those two words mean.
B. Post the manipulation that you consider the least unethical, and explain why you think it is not as bad as others.
