Well, I know they all do in North Carolina! Did you hear the fuss last year about Patrick Schneider of the Charlotte Observer being stripped of several awards because of excessive Photoshop manipulation of several images? It made the national news briefly. The verified the manipulation by comparing the published images to the RAW files the paper keeps in its archives. It seems that all their photographers are required to shoot RAW and archive the RAW files before converting to another format for level/color adjustment and subsequent publication. Apparently this has been the paper's policy for years. I can't believe that other major newspapers have lower standards of ethics, especially after last year's fuss. Here's one story about the controversy: http://www.pdnonline.com/photodistrictnews/headlines/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1963706 -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
