Ethics continued.
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
In my last post I wrote about an ethical mess.
Mr. Thompson has since gone back and reworked his moon photo. Here’s the previous version of the photo.
Of the changes he writes:
(Update: 08/06/07: I went back to the image and backed the enhancement off three levels and also updated the explanation on what was done. A [...]

Another painful lesson in ethics.

Update: It looks like Mr Thomspon has since deleted his blog entry discussing his ethics. Here’s the cached version of that post thanks to Google if you’re still interested.
Here’s another painful use\abuse of Photoshop and ethics. The sad thing is the photographer seems to understand the ethics when it comes to photojournalism, [...]

What happened?
What happens next?
What did you do?
What do you make of this?
How do you explain what has happened to other people?
