Retouching a photo: When is it OK? (poll 5840625)

Retouching a photo: When is it OK?

Never. A photo is a moment of history.

Whenever it works to improve the photo.

Only when you're dealing with feature photos. Never news photos.

Photographers are too rigid on this issue. Use your best judgment.

Photographers should have total control over photo editing—always

On submitted photo, I'll remove a date stamp if I can't crop it out. That's all.

I've "cloned out" lettering on a T-shirt that read, "I'm with stupid," and I've reduced cleavage on high school Homecoming queens...even been guilty of trimming down a good friend's waistline one time for her teacher retirement photo...no harm done! I have a camera. I have Photoshop. Might as well make the best of both!
