From the reading Robert Fiete cites 7 was to identify if an image is fake. One way to tell if an image is fake is if the images shows inconsistency in the shadows, coloring, and tone. When an image has shadows that are inconsistent with other shadows in the picture. Also if there are changes of color in the picture then that shows that the images has been altered. Another way to check if an image has been altered is that if it has inconsistent geometrics. For example all parallel lines in a scene have a vanishing point. If an image in a scene doesn't have a vanishing point that means that the image has been altered.
B) In your opinion…Can you trust the images you see in the media? Why or why not?
In my opinion you cannot trust any images that you see in the media because they are all altered. All image in the media have been altered. All the advertisements that we see on television and in magazines have been altered so the companies can show their product in the best possible way. Then when you actually buy the product you see that it is different then the produc t that was advertised.
In my opinion it is ok to manipulate an image when you are using it to create your own art. This would be an ok time to manipulate images because you are only doing it to express your creativity. It is wrong to manipulate images when you using it to deceive and trick people. One example of this would be advertisements. These are wrong to do because they use all sorts of techniques to make the product look really good but, in reality when you get the product it looks really different then the way it was advertised.
