There have been many instances of photo manipulation in the Middle East, a serious offense in the United States, however, this crime often goes unpunished in the Middle East . If a newspaper in America were to publish a manipulated photograph, the photographer would be fired and lose credibility as manipulating images is considered unethical because it shows the public untrue images.
Ethics in the age of digital manipulation
In my opinion, photo manipulation is unethical because it shows the public an untrue image and could taint or sway a person's opinion of a topic. However, I believe that small edits are acceptable when the photos will be used for personal use only and when all participants give consent for the editing to take place.
