ethics of retouching

1. What ethical considerations must be made by someone using photo shop to retouch a portrait photograph?
-the considerations you must make are that this is someone else's photo so before you do anything you must be sure that you always have the original untouched. You must always consider the fact that this picture of a person or a thing that does not deserve to be retouched in a negative manner.

 2. Give an example of a positive use of photo retouching and a negative use of photo retouching

-positive photo retouching would be removing blemishes and blending the skin so that that the persons face is clearly shown. a negative example of photo retouching would be adding more blemishes to the face or adding other things that make you look at the photo in a negative way.

3. Has learning retouching processes caused you to look at advertisements, magazine images and other published photos of celebrities and models differently? In what ways?
-yes, it makes me look at photos in magazines and makes me think that their skin is really not that perfect and they do not really look like that.
