Altering digital photographs - art or fraud?

Altering digital photographs for an art or for fraud. For me, altering or changing a digital photograph is not certainly considered a fraud. Altering digital photographs nowadays is just a great way of recycling pictures that didn't turn out well. Some cameras really have an awful capture that is why some photographers make use of editing or what we called altering digital photographs. Not only that. In some cases, when the person or client has a bad look well let us say that he have blemishes or marks on his face or he is not photogenic and he wants to look good on a photo, so he will ask the photographer to edit his photo for a good upshot. That is why altering digital photos should not be considered a fraud because it also has a good purpose for everybody.

Altering digital photos is considered a fraud when it is used for crime such as forgery or as a counterfeit for unjust gain or advantage. Photographic forgery is the creation of photographs that are intended to convey a misleading impression either of their own provenance or of what they depict. Proving that a particular photograph is fraudulent can be difficult and sometimes impossible. But still, in some cases they are also caught too when some experts check the photos if there has been an editing made. And this kind of usage makes the altering or changing of digital photographs a fraud. Again, something is considered bad base on how you do it. So what we should be all aware of is that always analyze situation, think carefully and make the right decision. So that's it. I hope you guys learned something from my blog about altering digital photographs.
