Photo Manipulation & Ethics

          The main point of this article was how people could edit photos. These people got into trouble because changed it to much to make it mess up.  They also added and cropped out some people out and added them into another photo. And in photography there are certain rules that you cannot ignore. It is unacceptable to edit photos because they are other peoples works that they did.
          In my opinion editing photos are not good. If you edit a photo then you are taking somebody's work and you are making it into something else. Copying these photos is like me taking your homework and telling the teacher that it was mine.

4.) I think that the photos are weird. I like the photos, but there are just creepy because they are people that don't know who they are.
