Journalist Values IV

A photographer who works for you has been 'caught' using Photoshop to alter images. What would you tell him or her about this practice?

It would depend on what he was altering. If he was using Photoshop to cover zits or to delete something from the picture that detracts from the main focus I would not care. But if he is using Photoshop to make people look thinner or bigger or to add or delete something to fit a story that would otherwise be proving a story false, I would tell him he needs to stop. If he does not stop I will fire him.
