Processing the News Reflection

This article is a discussion photo editing in relation to photojournalism. It says that maybe photoshop and other photoediting systems should not be allowed to be used in photojournalism, because they ruin the reality of the  photo. There is some disagreement in terms of what people should be allowed to change in photos, especially adding or removing parts of a shot.

I thought the section about the dark room was really interesting. I did not know the extent of what you could do with a dark room, and I also did not know you could manipulate photos so much this way. Therefore, I learned a lot about dark rooms and how they were used in photojournalism.

I can take from the article that I should not do a lot of editing on my pictures. It is smarted to keep the shots realistic, and if they are not straight out of the camera, they should at least look like they are. I should not do any artistic editing like I did in the portrait unit.
