A. The story "Ethics in the Age of Digital Manipulation", four cases are presented where a photographer has photo shopped an important image, therefore dramatically changing it or misleading the viewers. These mishaps are unacceptable, as people learned when Brian Walski was fired from his job for tampering and editing a photo of the new cabinet in Israel. The four edited photos I read about all contained a similar thing: a cropped out person or object because he or she felt that the person doesn't belong, or felt a dislike towards them/it.
B. I strongly feel that this type of photo editing is unethical and unacceptable because it will always negatively effect, mislead or offend others. Just because the editor wants to crop a certain part of the image based on his or her opinions, does not mean that the majority of other people feel the same way.
