Question

Some countries and officials want to make it mandatory that a photograph is labeled if it has been altered in any way by a photo editing program. Do you agree or disagree with this? Why do you think people believe that images should be identified if they have been altered?

Answer 1

First off, this isn't really a yes or no question, this is an opinion.

My opinion is that photos that have been altered in any way should be marked. These days you never know what a person will do to say, get a job, advance a political agenda, or ruin the reputation of another person. The public has the right to the truth. Therefore, altered pictures should be marked or labeled in a way that differentiates them from others.
