Photoshop allows for the manipulation of images to such as extent that one could change the season, the weather or just about anything in a photograph.
But negatives and photographs have been retouched for years.
So, here are two images of the same shot. The original and a retouched version.
I cropped the image slightly, removed the cars parked in the foreground, covered some signs with 'bushes' and removed some telephone and power lines as seen below:
Colors were also intensified in the middle image and the image was sharpened through Photoshop.
And yes, that's Pam Cook and 'Twiggy' in front of the lighthouse.
So are these modified images 'fair'? Or should I have 'removed' Pam and Twiggy, too?
