A) You can determine whether an image is fake by seeing if the image has physical properties such as a cameras effect edge’s sharpness, blurriness, focus and etc. A fake image doesn’t consist of these effects.
B) It depends on how you perceive the image, there are times were you look at the photograph in a magazine and realize that the image you are looking at is not exactly the same when you observe it up close. You can trust an image in the media when you see an image that looks real, but was probably done in Photoshop. For instance, when you come across an image in a magazine you notice a group of people you automatically start to think that these people are family members or friends. These people could probably don’t even know each other and be placed together in this one photo.
C) Photo manipulation is ok only when you’re re-touching your own photo or year book pictures; because some people would want to reminisce on the times they had in high school. Photo manipulation for advertisement is wrong because many older woman look at the young woman that are on the cover of a magazine selling this make-up products. The older woman start to think if the make-up this young woman is wearing would make them look younger. When in reality half these products that are on these advertisements don’t even work.
