No. Any photograph is already manipulated, from the moment you choose what to photograph and how. > Examples: > - adding grain digitally ;-) > - putting objects in or taking them out of a picture > - changing colours (with digital colour filters) > - cutting pimpels out of faces These are things that were done in the darkroom a hundred years ago. Photoshop makes no difference. > Does it make a difference if the photos are for > - newspapers > - magazines > - a photo exhibition? Only if the tekst say something that isn't true. If a journalist or artist claims that an altered photograph shows something that is true, he is telling a lie. The photograph just shows something, it is the context that matters. We should never believe photographs, because they are so easy to believe in but lie so easily. DagT
