In the news today, it appears that Microsoft has done some photo editing that has caused some online controversy! They have taken a picture used on their website, and altered it for their Polish version. They changed the race of one of the men in the picture from black to white!
This goes to prove that you can't trust a picture anymore! Something I've been saying for several years...
Of course, this was most likely done by a graphic designer, and was asked to do it by his supervisors. He probably had no say in the matter. (a job is a job)
I've often altered photos at my place of work. Touch up, removing blemishes, etc... It's just something we do. It's part of our job. It's making the image more appealing to the customer. Since there is not fine line on whether wrong or right in fixing up photos, any changes that can be made, will be made!
