If removing "red eye" isn't permissible, removing a whole shadow is definitely now.
I think it's harsh that they banned him for life, but there have been some bad incidents lately and I'm sure they are setting an example.
On one hand, I'm happy they are serious about journalism and integrity. But on the other, I think it's an unusually harsh punishment.
- Steko 15y agoThe absurd thing is that as worded it appears cameras that remove red eye automatically might technically violate their policy.
- cbr 15y agoI'm not sure many professional photographers are using cameras that do that.
- orofino 15y agoNot only that, but it then becomes a 'slippery slope', where do you draw the line at what manipulation is possible. Here they've draw a pretty clear line that the 'content' of the image cannot be changed but that coloring and associated items can be tweaked to more accurately represent the scene. [Lets avoid picking apart the generalization I made above, yes color is 'content' but I think the meaning is fairly clear here]
