#6 In your opinion, when is it beneficial, ethical, or appropriate to digitally alter photographic portraits? When do you think it is inappropriate or ethically wrong?
I think it is appropriate to digitally alter photographic portraits when it is done for an artistic reason. If you're doing a portrait, and you want the subject to look more like a doll, for example, then I don't see why there would be a problem altering them. However, if you are trying to pass the photograph as realistic, then I think it is wrong to digitally alter it. A portrait should describe a person as who they are, not who they want to be.
