Case study:
Image editing software has made it easy to alter any photo or video to correct for a variety
of different imperfections. However, some professionals can use these programs to
significantly manipulate the content or meaning of a photo or video. Such changes are
often intended to influence the opinions and emotions of the viewer. Supporters argue
that this type of editing is acceptable and is just another way to express an opinion or
feeling from an editor. Critics note that this type of image and video manipulating is
unethical because it intentionally misleads the viewer and often creates unobtainable or
unhealthy definitions of beauty.

Questions:
1. List 2 examples of application software that are used to edit photo or video.
2. Provide 2 examples of digital photo or video editing that have resulted in
controversy (eg: any celebrity or politician that faced this kind of issue).
3. Do you see any ethical issues related to altering photographs or videos? Discuss
your answer.
4. What do you consider the boundary (rules that need to be enforced) to be between
acceptable editing and misleading practices? Discuss your answer.
