The whole point of messing with an image is to make it tell the story
better.<<<<<
WRONG!
Altering an image, diverting from the actual event
captured on film or censor is nothing more than someone's interpretation or
intention. People dilute. They will dilute the truth, actions or interpretations
of almost anything to further their own gains. It is that simple.
Lots of you will argue that truth is up for grabs,
that your lifestyle sees colors differently than mine. Wrong. Truth is truth.
It's your lack of discipline or ethics that are really to
blame. A selfish need to have more and we can't be satisfied
until we have added our own flavor. Just because you
don't see any harm in enhancing a scene, appearing innocent
enough, doesn't mean you haven't played with or diluted the
truth.
Increasing contrast is not altering the truth,
unless it hides something in the shadows, regardless of the end result. Adding
shadows under breast lines to "enhance" a figure is altering the truth, period.
But, diluters see it as OK, because it appears to harmlessly add an innocent bit
of fluff. If that same shadow made the girl look like she was flat breasted, the
offender would be attacked as un-ethical.
And, don't give me this crap that cropping or
burning and dodging have always been around. So what, they don't alter the
context, just the content. There is big difference between the two.
Photography can no longer be trusted. That's a
crime no matter how you try to shake free.
