I believe we dont have to know about photoshopping. It doesnt really affect my life and how im doing. I dont mind that they make women slightly more beautiful. Manipulating the photos actually lets you know that these women have flaws. And they are still beautiful without the photoshopping. No matter what woman have to work to be beautiful.

I think that photo manipulation should only be used when asked or when they tell you.Other wise it's wrong beacuse they are the one's who toke the picture.In magazines they take other poeple's photo's but they change them up so they dony look nothing like what they did when the person toke them.People only do it for the money thought beacuse you can make alot taking picture's and editing them and selling them.

I feel like photograph munipulation is bad. I think it's not good to trick people on an advertisement that is fake. I feel like it's cheating, and getting people to think that is how it really is. All in all im not a big fan of it. I think they should give the people the truth.

I think that photo manipulation should be use when only they tell you when they do it. If so one wants to be jsut like a picture that was edited then it would be hard to look just like that picture. They edit like all the photos that go into Magazines and they disort the photo so it looks nothing like what the picture is suppose to. My sister does this for a living. They make lots of money for doing this and thats why the do it and thats why they don't tell anyone. They just want our money! I think that they should just leave the people's pictures alone and the can edit it if like she has a blemish or whatever but like making their arms smaller and their hair thinker and fuller. It just stupid!

I think we should know,so we can know what really happened in the photo. Making a fake copy of what the person really looks because it could manipulate there feelings and how they look. Its okay sometimes, because they just to make a story or photo more interesting.

What I think about photo shoping is that you should do it only sometimes. I think that you should do it sometimes because it depends on what your doing it for. Like if your doing it for a funny picture then why not. If your doin it to change the way someone looks I dont think it's right. You never know what other people are thinking when they look at a picture of someone who looks skinny and is not really like that I dint think someone can get to be like that. So if someone trys to do that and look like someone on a magazine they could get hurt. Another reason I think you should photo shop only if they are trying to make like a funny joke but dont do it to make somebody look like something there not.

I think that they should let you Know that the pictures are animated. i think they should because, people are trying hard to look like models on the magazines.
That drops people selfesteen. another reason they should because, thats not even a real person after you switch they body.

they should also let you know that they you computerized photos. and that they take pictures from all over the world and make them into one picture as if i they was their.
They should also show you how to animate pictures.

I think Photo Manipulation ok some of the time because I wouldn't want someone changing thhings about how I look, but if it make the produce better sells, we should want them to make you beautiful on the front cover of a magzine. Before they change the things they should tell the person in the photo before making something the person really isn't. And pay as twice as much for the photo shoot. But you wouldn't want a bad photo of you of yourself on something too. So Photo Manipulation is ok some times

Photoshop is only ok when you are puting text and cropping pictures. But it is not ok to use other bodies of people and stick other peoples head on them. And if they were to do that to someones picture they should inform the buyers and people that they have photoshopped the picture so people wont think that it was the orignal picture. Also if you are naturally beauty you shouldnt need nor have them to photoshop your pics. But it is only sometimes ok only if the person really needs to be photoshopped but i dont think that nobody should need that much work. SO this is how i feel about the whole photo manipulation thing.

I feel like if people manipulatle some photos its not a big deal. But like when people make the girls skiner then they already are it can make people feel bad about them selfs. But I dont think it a big deal if they make someing look better for a cover, like moving things around. Or changeing things to make the photo really say someing. But I do think that if some one dose manipulate a photo they should say it. Becaues people want to know if its real or not, and it should say.

I think that editing pictures is not good. For example if you wanted some one to buy a product. Dont u think they would like to see a person that looks more like them so they can think they are nornal. Also when people edit pictures it really is not even the same picture when they are done. Like when we saw the edited pictures in class i liked the pictures that were not fixed. I thought that the ones that were original looked better. Also if some one see's a skinny person on a adverdisment it will make others feal like they need to look like them. But the people in the adverdisment really dont eveen look like that.

I think that photo manipulation is very wrong. I think this because it hurts people. You shouldnt photo shop because it makes every thing fake about the picture. Its makes people not who they are.It makes people want to be like an image that they can not be. It also could make people mad. It could make someone feel that they are not pretty enough. It could make them think that they are not skinny enough. It is never ok and I think it will never be ok. This is why photo shopping is bad

I think Photograph Manipulation is ok but only if the person you are doing it with says its ok. I think u should ask the the person to make changes to there to there face before you do it because you can make that perticular person upset or angry for what you did, or u can make that person happy because of there new look. If someone takes a picture of you and then does something with it like using photograph manipulation and not tell u about it. I think it would be wrong for not letting them know but if someone did that to me and i didnt know i would be angry.

I feel it is wrong for the media to photoshop a photo. If they are goin to do this they should at least tell the public. The public feels like if they don't look like this certain person that they are ugly or don't meet the standers of pretty. When they photoshop a picture the person who took the picture dosen't look like them selves after all of the work is done. The media just to make a movie sell tickets they will put the head of a famous actor on another pearsons body. In order to sell magazines the media will put two pictures and put them togther. This makes people have low self- steem and eatin disordes because they dont have the perfect body like the lady in the movie. The media should put a little heading at the bottom saying retouched. If the do this this shows that person is actually normal.

I think it's okay to do some of the time. But it's not okay to do all the time. I think it makes people seem fake. I don't want to pick up a magazine when someone I look up to like Kimora Lee Simmons is on the cover with their body photoshopped because people think they're not skinny enough, or pretty enough. Everyone can't be skinny like America wants them to be. If something is photoshopped, it's not shwoing a person, or thing for what they really are. It's showing a fake copy of how people think they should look or how people think they should be. Why would a person that's already thin or already pretty need to be more thin or even prettier?

I believe that editors should not manipulate photos because it takes away the truth. It also gives young girls or guys the wrong image. Many look up to celebrity’s .That leads to many problems on how you should look, wear, and type of body shape you should be. When they don’t even look like the person in the photo. The photos that have been edited brings conflicts like the type of weight your suppose to be. I also think that celebrities should be role models. They should be proud of who they are not what they aren’t.

I think they should show the origianl picture of how the modle looks because some girls feel presured to look that way of the altered modle.I no many girls at this school who only care for their personal appearence.Things like how thier hair looks or if their pants are tight enough or even if their breast are out enough.Girsl all think this just because the people on tv looked that way or when we see a famous actor really thin. Some African American girls want thier hair straited because the typical "pretty" girls hair is flowing.Some caucasion people want more volume in their hair because the typical "pretty" girls hair has body.

I think we should all love our bodys and no think about how modles look because they dont even look that way.

I think that photo manipulation is not okay at all because it causes insecurity with teenage girls. It makes some of the girls feel as if they have to look a certain way to do something but in reality nobody looks that way. When they photoshop its to make girls feel that if they buy there product they can look like guirls in the magazines buy wearing a certain outfit when most of the girls dont have the body that is photoshoped.

I think that photoshopping is wrong because its wrong changing someones figure for the readers. The people who read it want to be like the people they see, but those people don't really look like that.

I think that it is ok some of the time. If you are makeing a model look better in a picture. When your doing it to change the truth in the news it is wrong. For an advertisment to make people buy your product. For a newspaper to do it like in a magazine or news saying someone gained 40 pounds and cropping a picture to make it look like that is wrong. Advertisments do it to endorce there product magazines and newspapers just do it to spread lies about famous people to get people to buy their stuff cause its the latest gossip. So I think that in an advertisment yes but in newspapers and magazines no unless its a good thing not a bad

I think that taking a photo and making it something that is not real is wrong. Mostly because it makes people feel bad and not good enough in the world. It makes some people feel like they dont fit in the perfect world that ad's make the world out to be. I think that even if the print was like 1 pt. They should tell you tht the image was manipulated. Also some people dont even know that their photo was manipulated. I think that they shoulda ask the person(s) ing the photo if they can do something to the picture.

I believe that they should tell you when ever they photoshop something. I believe this because if you did a interview then they look at your picture you would be embarrest because you took all those great pictures for nothing. Just like beyounce you don't always have to be photoshoped because she is already beuatiful.Same goes to the photographers they get all that money just to munipulate photos. If i was ever to get my photo munipulated i would take it back and get my money back because to me that makes me ugly.What if you had your photo munipulated? Would you like your photo photoshoped? i wish the united states can make a law saying you can't photoshop anything because i would love to see the look on the photographers face. They already do enough about making you feel bad from makeup they sell why can't they leave it there.

I don't agree with photo shopping because, you can do just about anything with it. You can take any photos and forge it with any other photo. Such as making a fake nude photo of someone. You can even make a person look better than they really are. Like models, you can get someone that doesn't look good, and make them look beautiful. It makes other girls, and sometimes guys, want to be just like that photo shopped image. It hurts a lot of people, for no reason, it's just a fake image that people try to be like. Even some people try so hard and just end up hurting, or even killing themselves or others. People even buy products that a photo shopped image is wearing, just to make themselves look pretty/handsome. They see the image and expect to look like the "model," (who isn't real). People don't realize the image was fake the whole time, and they end up hurting themselves or others in the process of trying to look "perfect." People only photo shop images to either hurt others, or to make their product look better, in my opinion

I think that photo shop should be illegal because it is putting out the wrong images to young people. They grow up on a dream that they can look like a perfect woman in a magazine. But when they find out that they can’t they try every thing they can do to look beautiful. Like getting surgery and going on a diet. It will change their life for the bad. This is why I think photo shop should be banned.

I think its ok because at least when u actually see the picture after u take them you'll be able to make it better then it was before. I really wouldnt think it could effect me and my life because it really doesnt have to do with any thing. I just think if their already pretty why should they fix them up to make them more beautiful? Its just making it even worse because their changing their body parts and puting their heads on other people body's. I really dont see the whole point of it, all your really doing is wasting your time because you have nothing better to do.

I think it is okay any time as long as the person that there mani[ulating says it's okay. Because that would be rude and would be mean to the person they did that to if the person did not tell them that they are doing that to there picture, the person that doing that to the photo can make the girl fat when shes really not and there could be rumors that the girl is pregnant and that could be all over the newspaper and all over the magizines, then she walks somewhere and someone seen her and notices she not pregnant, then the girl that seen her is going to spread a rumor that the girl was lying and everything is going to be put on her when it was the guy who manipulated hers fault.

I think digital editing on someone photos is not the best idea to do but it also helps. When Celebrities and Models go for pictures they should have natural beauty maybe even some light adjustment but no changing there whole body. If they go for another interview with other business and they see they don't really look like the picture does then the Company might not like them. But at the same time it helps get jobs Maybe a few things own the face white teeth bigger eyes and thats about it. If they do photoshopping on the person pictures they should confirm with the person thats its okay to twist the person body into a whole new one.

I think people shouldn't use photoshopping because they shouldn't change the way people look just because they have flaws. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and they should respect that by keeping the original image. Some people could be offended by it and think their picture was changed because they're ugly. How would you feel if someone changed a picture of you because they thought it wasn't pretty enough? People who see those pictures want to be just like the models (who don't even look like that) and never will be able to because no human will ever look like that. It's just fake imaged made my companies to make money.

I think photoshoping people's pictures is okay but I also think its' not okay to photoshop people's face and body. I think it's okay if you ask them if it's okay with them to photoshop your picture and they have to see what the picture looks like before you post it up. I think it's not okay to photoshop people beacuse thats not what they realy look like. Other people might think they have to make there selfs look like that to be attractive but they dont. Another reason I dont like it is because they should like there selfs how they are, not how somebody can picutre them as.

I dont think it's ok at all unless you agree with it or you tell them to photoshop your picture. If the advertisers just do it and don't tell you I think it's rude and crazy because now people will think thats how you look. People won't take you for who you are and they will like you for A photoshoped picture and not for your real life way.They will be your idol because of what photoshop did and when they see you, they might look at you like your crazy and different, (which you are). Photoshop is not A bad thing but it's not A good thing either unless you know about it.

I don’t think it’s ok to photo shop because it can maybe interfere a job in the future. Some people can do other things and post it on the internet and that can become a conflict. If they don’t ask the person for permission it can be come bad for the person in the picture. Some people can put a different picture on a different person’s body.

I don’t think photo manipulate is ok because it is a lie. It should also not be ok because it is not the real photo. It is also not good because you could tell lies about people and you could start drama in there life you could actually change there whole life and how people look at them and how people think of them. If you do change a photo always keep the real photo. If you Photoshop why would you want to publish a fake photo and the photo is not even you. If you change a photo never change what you look like and make it appropriate.

I think the photographers do have to tell us they are manipulating that person.Because what if the person they are photo manipulating doesn't want to be photo manipulated.What if they like the way they look in that photo.So photographers need to ask the person if they can manipulate there photo and if they say yes well then take it if not just take the picture and dont do anything to it.When you think about it to the girls you sell the magazines to will look at them and say "why can't I look like that." That will lower there self a steam and you will have very unhappy parents saying "my child is depressed saying i'm ugly and i dont want to live any more if I can't look like her."

I think it is not right to Photoshop all the time because a lot of the people now are trying to be like people in the magazines or billboards. If you Photoshop a picture for a product it the person that photo shopped the picture could change the products actual outcome. If the people are real why not make the picture of them real as well. Some of the news papers even have fake photo shopped pictures. Most of the way people make the photo shop pictures would be by putting more then one picture with each other. The main point I am getting to is that if you Photoshop something and make it open to the public somebody would possibly try to make themselves like the person or buy a product that shows false outcomes.

I do think that photoshoping is bad because it doesnt really tell the truth about someone. Yes it is good for advertisement. But it is Encourages people to be like some one who does not Exist. The olny reason why they do it is because it is cheaper to do it that way. It makes people feel like they can look like those people. the good thing is that they sell more products that way. But then when the are done the person that got there picture tacken doesnt look like they did in the picture. thats people start to complain. Sometimes it can be good. Sometimes it can be bad

I think Photoshop editing is ok sometimes. I think this because the companies still need to make money. If they just used a really ugly girl in the cover of a beuty magazine, who would want to buy that product? Now days young girls are trying to be as beautiful as the girls on the Magazine but they can't no matter how hard they try. This is causing more girls to become self concious about how they look. Even with the supermodels they photoshop edit still just to make them look younger or slimmer or lighter. This is why I think Photoshop is ok sometimes.

I think that photo manupulation is okay some of the time. I think this because companys want their photos to look good and have people buy their product so they can make money. I also think it okay some of the time because it's proving a point to their product even if it isn't what can actually happen. Sometimes, I think it is not okay because the photos companys photoshop can hurt girls and also guys self-esteems and confidence. It makes kids and teens want to be like the person in the picture, but can't because the photo is not an actual picture of what the model actually looks like in real life.

I Think photo manipulation can be good and bad. It can be good in ways such as if a person being photographed don't like the way he/she look they can have their photo altered. I feel it’s bad in ways such as when a company is advertising a product. They say it will cause something to change but it really doesn’t and they manipulate the photo and have viewers thinking it really worked. The people then go out and buy the product and nothing change and they wasted their money.

I don't agree with photo shopping at all. Photo shopping is nothing but a world wide lie. Models and stars photo shop their pictures but it’s not right. How are they being role models if they nothing but big fat liars. Things like that help contribute to teen deaths. Mostly young females who have very low self-esteems because they don’t look like the girl on the magazine cover but truth be told the girl on the cover doesn’t look like the girl on the cover. No one is truly perfect. Perfection is a myth. Young girls go around putting all these creams and gels on their faces thinking that it’s going to make them look like the girl on the cover but all their doing is damaging their skin more. Photo shopping is wrong and should not be legal if you ask me.

I believe that that photoshoping is ok for some of the time. The only time i think we need to photoshop a picture is if the person who is in the picture says it's ok but if it's something that has to do with history that is not something to be photoshop. I think that because if something that happened in history that is a big thing and people take pictures of that certain thing that happened and they photoshop that then it would be telling people the wrong thing and you wouldn't want that. Another thing that is a problem with photoshoping is that teenage girls or boys looking at photoshoped pictures sometimes think that they want to look exactly like that but it's not possible. Everything that happened with photoshoping people in the real world wouldn’t be able to look exactly like that at all. It's fake.

I don’t think that photo manipulation is right anytime. If you have a magazine with a picture of a beautiful person and they have been photoshoped and then a young girl sees it she’s going to wonder why she doesn’t look that way. The girl will think that she’s not beautiful and be self conscious and can end up depressed and might do something bad to herself because of it. In a magazine people may say well they are just trying to get money well the other side of that argument is the fact that some poor sucker just got tricked into buying this product that might not even work just because it’s a manipulated picture. If you have a picture of say a politician doing something wrong because you manipulated it that could really hurt there campaign and their career. In nature if you manipulate a picture people could say wow what a place and blow tons of money to go to that awesome place while it just happened that the attraction they wanted to see doesn’t actually exist. People have the idea that anything that they see is true and since a lot of people are visual they might only look at the picture not the words so printing an explanation doesn’t make sense. Magazines shouldn’t do it, books shouldn’t do it, so why should every one else be allowed to do it. It can bring about so many problems that it doesn’t make sense for us to do it at all. Take a nice picture print it and don’t mess with it.

I don't think it's ever okay. Girls are very insecure without the media telling us how we should look, dress, or anything like that. It's a lie, and lying is wrong. It's one thing for magizines to lie, but newspapers? People believe those pictures, and it shapes their opinion. Like the war photos, those could change people's out look on the war. It's like visual propaganda. Or liek the one picture that photoshopped the Dixie Chicks in with Sadam Housane (Sorry can't spell his name). Peple believe these lies, and it's horrible. Magizines can lie about things, they do even though it's wrong. But it's even worse for the newspapers, and the ther informational media. They do it to make money, is money so important that people feel they have to lie? Those girls were beautiful before that photoshopping they didn't need it so why do it?

Dillion A. I think photography is good to strech the truth because if girls feel insecure about how the way they look then it's her choice if they want to look like that. If they want to look more pretty than usual then that's her choice. Some people like they real self's and some people don't. IF the photo person make some changes to a women picture then i say go ahead and do it.

I believe photo manipulation is not ok. I feel this way because I understand that your trying to sell a product but you shouldn't make women look entirely perfect because then it makes teenage girls feel sub conscious about themselves. No one is perfect, they never will be. It's not good for people looking at the pictures because they're really not shown the truth so basically it's all just a lie. Also when people photo shop pictures they do not tell the person they're doing it, so they are clueless until they soon see the picture. If your photo shopping the only way I feel it would be ok is if you notify the person getting their picture tooken, if you state the picture was photo shopped and if you are trying to advertise something.

I think that photo munipulation is ok up to a certain point. For information or where people are looking at to learn things I say no. But for advirtisements I have to say that it's ok. Because for information such as newspapers or something else they want the real truth otherwise people might get the wrong impression. But another reason it's wrong from newspapers is because people rely on that for the truth about what goes on. The reason I think it's ok for advirtisements is because they are trying to make money. Another reason is they are not looking at the ad for info but only so that people may buy there product. But also only if the person whos photo it is doesn't mind being photoshopped. So I think that photoshopping is okay up to a certain extent.

I believe that it is okay to edit photos. I feel this way because if they want there product to sell they have to have some kind of 'eye candy' to make people want o buy it. No one wants to see somebody as they really are, or someone like them espcially celebrities people enjoy this illusion of them being perfect. For some if this illusion is killed they have no one to look to as there idol of beauty. But for others they would rather have them as they are, simply because it maybe makes them feel better about how they look. But it is okay that people know that what there looking at is not real.

I personally believe that photo manipulation is somewhat okay. I think that they shouldn't do it all the time because the pictures before they edit them are very beautiful and nice. The pictures before is really the way they actually look. I wouldn;t say its very wrong because I edit pictures of myself and I dont think its all that wrong. But when you do it all the time changing every single famous or known persons picture because you think it looks wrong is going a little to over board!

I think that photo manipulation I sent really that good. Isn’t not bad or good but it shouldn’t be allowed freely. I think that the person that is getting photo shopped should have the choice to do it or not. My thinking is that why would you want to change the way you look like you should be happy. I think that all these pictures and billboards and magazines are making people fell more insecure. That’s not a good thing to do.

I dont think that photo shopping is wrong but they should note on the add or whatever saying that part of the add if not all is phoho shopped. I think that they do go overboard with somethings beacuse some people try to look like the person in the add. They try to look like something that isnt even real,girls try to look better or different to be popular,pretty or some one else. Even if you're not allowed to photoshop people will still do it and maybe if people dont care if they dont look lke the adds then our world wold be different. I personally think that its ok,but it can be decieving somwtimes.

I think photo manipulation is wrong in all ways. No one can look as good or do the tings that are posted or printed onto magizens or advertisments. Someone can get false information, or think something tha is not even true. If there is a picture of a woman in a magizen she probably doesnt look like that she has been transfomed to something similar but not that same person. Beuty they portray is not even real bueaty. No one can look like that so why should an advertisment say you can look like this if you use this product, when you really cant. Its just strtching the truth to far.

I think there is something good and bad about photo manipulation it can help if someone has real bad acne they can remove it off the picture. The bad thing is that some people go over bord and they make people look unreal. So there is a good and bad thing. And the bad things is people try to look like other people and there not real.

I think that photoshoping should be illegal.Its degrading to some people. It makes some people feel insecure about themselves.When they look at that picture they will see something that they want to be, but cant. If they do photoshop a picture i think they should say that. Otherwise if they dont that could ruin somebody's life.

I dislike how they change the person completely. If you take a picture of them, then you should leave it alone. Not everyone can looked perfect like the pictures they photoshop. They make people think that they can look like that, but look at reality not fanasy. You should like how you are now, don't change yourself just to look like the girls that are not real anyways. If you change yourself just to look like the girls on billboards and in magazines, then try to picture yourself in like 10-20 years from now. Then you will know what you done to yourself and how you look different. Don't change yourself, just be you and you will know the truth about yourself.

If your okay with your photo being manipulated then by all means necessary let your photo be manipulated, but when it comes to changing photo's that were taken about natural disasters it's not cool anymore. By changing the photo your more than likely sprusing it up to be something that it's not. So photo manipulation is okay sometimes.

It is okay at time but not when it come to news. The reason I think that if you do it in news because the think that they are give off bad information. I also think that you should not let people manipulation of picture because that is giving bad iformation and poeple will only listen to the people in the pictures. I also think that if you are going to this you should only do it in magzines because they will think will be able to be like them. I also think that if you do it in magizies you should tell them that you can say that you will not be like this because it is not a really person. I also think that if that you should not do it in major magizens because because that we gize them the wrong idea. I think you are going to do this you might want to tell them where they are and tell them you will not see the same picture than what is in the magzies that is a major one. I hope that they tell the people tell the turth because they never tell you who that acturaly person. I also think they should just the person how they are because that will just give them wrong idea. I think they shoud never have done this in the first place

I think that Photo maniplution is wrong in some cases, but not in others. Like in the case of when National Geographic moved the piramids closer together to fit them on the cover, I feel that there is nothing wrong with that. There is the case of when the BBC made an April Fools joke about a spageti bush, that was a harmless prank and I thought was funny. However, when a newspaper made the people running from the wave look like they were right in front of it, it made simpathy grow and made the disaster look worse that it really is, makeing it more dramatic just to make money. There is also the case when a newspaper make more smoke than there really was in a fight, making people more likly to support a war that is not nearly as volient as the photographs might suggest. I think that photograph manipulation for ads where they take models and make them look 'better' should not be as drastic a change as it is now, they should not make them look so much better that they look perfect. In conclusion, using photoshop is right in some cases, but not in others, like war photographs.

I think we should stop and outlaw photography manipulation because if people are committing suicide because of this. They create a picture that is not possible and when young girls see this they try to make their selves look like the image.

So we should stop it befor more girls kill them selves because of this fake photo's.

I think that photoshopping is okay in some situations. It is not okay when you make models look perfect. If girls buy the certain product and can't make themselves look that way their self-esteem goes down (not including me). I also think it's appropiate when they do it for an ad. Things like elephants on a car is good because everybody knows it is fake.

I think that photo manipulation is only okay sometimes. I think in an instance like with the National Geographic manipulation. It didn't really matter that they moved the pyramids closer together. In an instance where photoshop is used to change an image of a person, it would be wrong. It is wrong because they do not really look like that. It is also wrong when photoshopped pictures are used in an advertisement or magazine. When the April Fools joke was used by the BBC, there was nothing wrong with that. It was only a prank of something that couldn't possibly happen. It is also wrong if a fake picture of a disaster is used. This is wrong becasue it could make people feel that there is a real emergency happening.

I feel that photo manipulation is not alright anytime for anything. The companies try to change real life to sell their products (lots of makeup companies and magazines). It is a very big lie, and a very big problem since many people believe what they see. If seeing is believing, are we believing falsehoods? People try to mold how they look or what they do to become what they think is right. In the cases of magazines where there are women on the cover or in there people think, "I can look like this if I buy this product!" That is not true since no one really looks like that because they've photoshopped them so much you can't tell if its the real person or not if there was a comparison. If I were photoshopped I would be insulted that I was not "perfect" enough to be on their cover without being changed. Why would anyone want themselves photoshopped? In conclusion, photoshop is and always will be a big lie to sell more products, or make more people believe an opinion.

Photograph Manipulation is a marketing tool, like any other tool. I think it's immoral to just about everyone, but once a marketing tool is in effect, stopping it is difficult.
For example: Kids run to lunch, right? Right. Well, if no one ran, then no one would have to run in order to get a sufficient place in line. But all it takes it one person to start running, and the rest follow.
Using it in news is another story. I believe that is a more extreme form of media manipulation, and it is sharing false world information to people who expect the truth. Yes, advertisements with heavy editing are also sharing false information, but those do not directly say "You will look like this". Furthermore, they are not often expected to do so, and are accepted as dramatizations. However, I think that both are immoral, but using it in news is much more of a problem in my opinion.

I think that some of the time we should know about photoshopping, because sometimes when little girls see models in the magazines they feel lke they can be like them. When those little girls grow up and figure out they will nver be like the models their self-esteem goes down and they either start doing bad things to themselves or kill themselves. We should sometimes know about photoshopping because when men look at the pictures they think that their wife is not good enough and they are supposed to look like the women in the magazine. After they figure out that they can't find a woman like that it's to late to get thier wives back. So that's why I think we should sometimes know about photoshopping.

Photograph Manipualtor is a tool that is used to improve photographs. It is used mostly when reporters want there photos to be improved. I think that it is dumb to use it becasue it affects a lot of people in different ways. Some ways that I think it is dumb for useing it is because when it comes to the pictures that you see in magizines they dont exist. They are unreal because it is impossible to be that perfect. They try to make you thnk that you can be like that by making you buy there products. But when they dont turn out like that they start to feel devistated and feel like they will never be as beautiful as the models are. When that happens girl even boys can start to feel depressed and ugly and it might even lead to there own death. When it comes to using it for things that have happen in newspapers they try to make it over dramatic. When that happens people get all scared and think its true.

I believe that photo manipulation is wrong in some uses and correct in others. For example, in real live news, photos should not be manipulated. This is because people may actually believe it to be true and it isn't right to mislead people. I believe that for harmless jokes, it isn't very wrong to mislead people like that. I also don't mind if people use it personally because they can do what they want with their photos because maybe it is their dream to look like that. I think that using photoshop for advertising is wrong, because as we saw in class yesterday an elephant obviously cannot stand atop a smart car, but people shouldn't try. I think that using photoshopping for causes and organizations is questionable. It is very useful because it gets the point across. The photo may not be possible, but photos are attention grabbers and should be eye catching. The other point is that i think if it is used for a news article, maybe so that the entire view is captured and the unimportant parts are cut out, it should at least be specified.

I do however believe that there is a certain extent to photo manipulation. I think that if the picture that's being manipulated is going to cause a really big issue, like globe curuption then I think it's time for someone to stop and think of what there behavior and acts well cause to others. Like if someone is just making an advertisment not look better but make changes that the people that are creating things it well help sale more of there goods easier and faster and to make a better profit. But if there just making up like Globe Issue lie's then that when I think it's time for someone to put there foot down and say something.

Photograph Manipulation is wrong because they're being dishonest to sell a product, or to think things are different then they appear. Photograph Manipulation in magizines are wrong because it makes people feel insecure about their looks. Changing pictures is all wrong, photographs to me are meant to caputre the truth. By changing the picture you're changing the truth. I gives people the idea that they're suppose to look or be a certain way is absolutley profound to me. Everyone is different so the magizine manipulations basically are saying "buy our product and you'll look this way or be this way." When in reality no person can be duplicated. So when saying buy our product so you will look this way, thats a lie right there. All in all i believe that all Photograph Manipulation is wrong photos are meant to capture the truth, not lie.

Thats why they do it. But this might effect people because they might try to look like the model but its impossible because the photo is manipulated. Its NOT hurting anyone. I dont think its ok to use photoshoping on important news or just old regular news. This is becasue thats effecting people on how they look at things or a certain places. For example, like when the National Geographic magazine photoshoped the Pyramids to make it fit on the cover. Now people may look at the Pyramids different now.

I think that photo manipulation can be wrong. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, I think it is okay. If an ad does use photo manipipulation, it should be noted somewhere on the ad. It would be better if advertisements used real pictures, but it helps companies sell their product. If I were selling a make up line, I feel like I'd want the right to photo shop my model's blemishes or make her cheeks a little rosier. Although, the model still needs to look like herself, and shouldn't be over done. It can help the veiwer's self-esteem. Nobody can ever be perfect. Overall, I think small photo manipulation is alright, when it doesn't cuase harm.

I think its ok for commercials to do Photoshop. The reason is as long as they tell us that’s what they did. I don’t think Photoshop is ok when teens use it. The reason is because it could make someone lose their reputation. Another reason is that you could get caught for doing it. In magazines they use Photoshop to make the models look better. They also use it on celebrities to make them so it is impossible to look like them. When you use photo shop it is like buying a plastic cake, it is fake. They can make you rich but the money you make is real but you don’t feel good about it. Thank you.

I think that it is ok for people to Photoshop pictures. It’s ok for me because it’s not hurting anybody unless you are getting a low self-esteem from looking at photographs of beautiful women that it is impossible to be like. I wouldn’t say it’s ok to manipulate pictures that would start a controversial issue and start problems. Or if news reporters use the pictures to get someone in trouble or again starts a debate or issue. Manipulating a celebrities photo will make people depressed and buy all of the products that they will try to make themselves beautiful.

If you just change it a little bit, like make it brighter, it’s okay, but if people think they’re getting something better than they really are. It’s also bad in advertising because you see people in ads that look perfect, when they really aren’t. That can hurt peoples self esteem. I think that it is never okay in news, because news is supposed to always be the truth.

I feel photo manipulation is wrong because it shows lies and not the truth. It makes people look better than they really are. So it makes people try to look like that. For example if a women is very skinny it's gong to influence other women they should be that small. Or if someone is darker the people seeing the advertisement will want to be darker. It can also make the people in the photo feel they are not good looking. It can also make people end up getting dieseses trying to look like models. People should be told if the picture is photoshopped. I hope it all stops because it dosen't really prove anything about the person. All in all people should stop photoshopping.

I thik photo manipuilation is a reasonable thing at times, but not all of the time. One reason I think its bad is becasue most people buy magazines based on its cover and that's not right to trick people out of money and the story and the image is fake. It's different if people are doing to make art work look better but to lie about it is just not right. I feel like if they tell you that they change photo's,add more, or change the image totally, we as readers should be notified. I do think that it helps make some pictures look better and more presentable. When photographers or people that use photoshop change things around to make a funny picture I think thats cool. Even when they take like five different pictures to make five people look close together, thats cool too. Well, this is just my opinion on photoshoping , this is why I feel its okay depending on what it's for.

For celeberties is shows that their perfect in the breast, body, skin it can be all fake it can make people very insucure of their body. There are young girls looking at these photos and is like I want to be like those models, and urge them to look beautiful like them. This can be really bad because they might urge there body to look like that and cause them to be anerexic or belimic maybe even suicidal, so photoshoping can make people feel bad about them selves.

I think photo manipulation is never acceptable. It is not fair to do that to people, basically your just saying that they are not good enough to be in the photo. IT doesn't just hurt the person in the photo, it might hurt other people who look at the photo. A girl might kill herself because she can not look as good as the model in the photo. So if people are killing their selves because of these photos, shouldn't it be illegal? Photo manipulation also isn't good becasue a buisness person is lying to the people who are looking at an advertisement. I know that I wouldn't want to buy a product from somebody who is lying about it. if you have to lie to get people to buy your product it obviously isn;t good enough. when you lie about the product your just hurting your buissness. That is why I think photo manipulation should be illegal.

I think that photo manipulation is wrong and should be illegal because it’s not telling the viewers the truth. I think that it should be illegal unless they state that what they are showing has been photo shopped. In the constitution it states that we all have to be honest. Even though it says we have to be honest to the government, it still shows an example that we have to show honesty all the time. Photo shopping doesn’t hurt people directly, but it does hurt some peoples self esteems. It can make girls think that if they see a model on the cover of a magazine that they have to be exactly like that to attract guys. When really, the girl on the cover doesn’t look like that either. It can also make guys think that all girls have to be like the girl on the cover to be what they think is the “perfect” image of a person. So, I believe that photo shopping is wrong because its not honest. This is why I think that it should be illegal unless they say that the picture has been photo shopped.

Where I stand on the issue of manipulating photos by Photo shopping is here. If someone Photo shops a picture that doesn’t hurt anyone and is just used for fun and that person consents it then it is ok to me. If it puts someone down or makes them depressed then it’s not ok. Say, the photo is for a magazine then people who are no happy or content with how they look they will try to be like that model. They will waste their money buying things that will not make them look like someone they can never look like. Someone no one can look like not even the model themselves. I am also against it if they use it on the news. To get someone in trouble or start an issue. Maybe to make it seem like someone is doing something that they are not supposed to do. Or to even make an official or someone who works for the government get fired

I think that it’s ok but at the same time I don’t. The reason I think that it’s not ok is because when girls look at it they try to become something that they could never be. I also think it’s weird because the people who take it know they can’t look like it so why even try. It’s also weird because the people who take the pictures don’t even look like that. I think that it’s ok two because it’s not hurting anyone. It would be different if it was hurting somebody then I think that it shouldn’t be on there. I also think that in some of them they should say that it’s not real so that girls want get depressed and try to look like them. I that at some times its good but at other times I think it’s kind of stupid. I think that people shouldn’t stress they self over something that not going to come true to anyone.

No, I don’t think Photoshoping should not be illegal. Why? Because this is a free country and we have the right to fix our picture if we don’t like it. Companies have the right to do what they gonna have to do to make money. People can fix their picture if they want too. I don’t think fixing your picture hurts other people at all. How can someone tell want to do with your own picture. That’s not right telling someone what to do with his/she picture. There’s nothing wrong fixing pictures its just making it look better. Companies are not put pictures that don’t look right and expect to make money like that. All in all photoshoping should not be illegal.

I think that photo manipulation is bad all the time. It helps the company sell their product, but in the process it can make people feel bad about themselves. It can also mislead people about a product. If you can change a picture of a product into pretty much anything, how are we supposed to know what it really is. With all of the photoshopping technology we have today, it becomes dangerous to believe in things we see. If a company actually takes a picture of their product or what it does and does nothing to it, we can still look at it and say "That's probably just photoshopped!" and now that company is losing sales because of all the other companies lies. Photo manipulating will always be a danger now and forever, we just have to know how to deal with it.

I think that photo manipulation is wrong. I think they should tell people when a picture is photoshopped. I think this because when you photoshop a picture then someone trys to live up to the picture. How can comeone live up to something thats not real? Photoshopping causes a lot of problems for kids who try to live up to those images. So i think that the people who take the photo's should always tell you if they're photo shopped or not. I dont think its completely wrong. But i do believe you should be told if it is. So thats what i think on photoshopping.

I think it is okay to photoshop a picture some of the time. If the picture is for an advertisement than they can do it but should tell us. If it is just a picture to put on Facebook, ect. then I don't see a point in doing it. People weren't made to be perfect and everyone knows that. If any magazine or newspaper photoshops a picture I think they should be fined by law. People believe what they see in newspapers, ect. so they shouldn't show anything fake. I personally have no idea how to photoshop and don't care about learning how. Fake is fake no matter how you look at it. Photoshopping to me is a pointless program that companys use to deceive you and try to get you to buy their products. If any company wants to photoshop anything than they should be made to inform us about it first.

I believe that it is okay for altering a photo.Sometimes in situations you should know what happen and how it happened.A case being if the president was shot and someone took a picture of what happen and how it happened you would want detail for detail about it.But in a less serioues moment you wouldn't be concerned.Case being if a photographer takes a picture of a female model and alters the photo you wouldn't care. the same also for a male model.Every person has a flaw so photographers try to make them perfect.I think people know going into that business what they can expect once they take their picture.Also how it will be changed and altered
