Blog Prompt #6

        I believe that it is almost always o.k. to digitally alter photographs, when for personal use or when the person you were taking photos for is aware that you will be digitally altering the photographs you took for them. It can help to remove blemishes, fix bad lighting, or just enhance the photo in general. I think it is inappropriate to digitally alter photos when it has to do with the subject matter of the photos, and they are being used in a professional sense. For instance, it would be wrong to remove/add someone from a photograph being used as evidence in a court case, but acceptable for someone to remove/add someone to a photo just to upload it to facebook or hang it on their wall. Maybe the photo included someone they are no longer involved with or they just thought it would be funny to add themselves to a court side scene next to Eva Longoria. Either way, I think that you just have to be cautious when it comes to digital editing when it is not for personal usage and that everyone involved should be aware that you are going to do it.
