I think you have described perfectly the general acceptance about this matter. But here's the thing: where do you draw the line, philosophically, legally, or anything? Besides, what if we never find out about a major retouching? As of reputation, I just watch as the news broadcasters request for your pictures of a rampage from anyone who caught it, ie with a cell phone. "You be the reporter" - I can't shoot people on the streets, but anyone can take a picture of me dying. The point perhaps is that everybody, individuals, the police and media corporations apply criteria as they see fit. A cable or a basket ball, we shouldn't really worry.
