photo manipulation

A. The University of Wisconsin basically did false advertisement. They took a picture and then added a black guy so that it would look as if they are a diverse school. The university officials didn't really see anything wrong with it at the time, but after the media found out about it they regretted doing it. Now, they are thinking about reprinting all of the brochures.

B. I think that it should be allowable only because the picture of the black person was actually a student of that same university. If it would have just been some random person from somewhere else though, I would have thought it wouldn't be allowable.


















A. I think the most unethical photo manipulation picture is the one with Oprah Winfrey. They put her head on some other girls body. I would personally be insulted if is was Oprah. It seems like their saying "We don't like your body but we need your face, so lets just use some others girls body since its nice."

















B. I think that the National Geographic one is okay. All they did was just move the two pyramids a little close so you could see both of them on the cover.
