Question

Which retouching action is unethical?

Answer 1

A. removing a person from a photograph intended for publication in a newspaper

Step-by-step explanation:

if an image is for journalistic use, viewers are likely to believe everything they see. In such situations, people may consider any manipulation of the image to be unethical. In addition, if the image were photographic evidence intended for use in a legal matter, any image manipulation would be not only unethical but also illegal.

A newspaper publication is considered a legal document and shouldn't be manipulated or change.

Answer 2

removing the saturation in a photograph intended as a magazine cover page

Step-by-step explanation:

Retouching photos can be considered unethical, as it communicates a wrong message once it is changed.

The retouching can make someone or something look completely different than the message that should have been sent, and question the honesty of the brand.
