Author: MarinCommuter

Photoshop technology has become good enough to fool the pros. The ethics involved are another matter.

Photo ethics of the amateur can be quite different than that of the professional.

At some point in time news reporting organizations will realize those low cost or free photos can can carry some unwanted baggage.

I wonder how newspaper and TV editors and reporters mentally reconcile the difference between Photoshop deception, and the photographer on the scene very carefully chosing his viewing angle and orientation so that they can get the one damaged house/barn/side door/tree branch to fill the photo, and then run the headline of "ENTIRE TOWN OF XXX DESTROYED BY HURRICANE!"

So this was just a "time-lapsed" photo? Any Tralfamadorian would not understand the ruckus!
