I'm sure NPPA probably has books worth of discussion on this issue in their listserv archives. Adjusting contrast, slight dodging and burning, cropping, etc. are all considered acceptable by most, but removing real things are considered not so at least IMHO.The O.J. photo is another matter, as well: when does a tweaked photo become a photo illustration or a graphic? That's trickier. Maybe we could get NPPA to work with Adobe Photoshop to put little ethical points on all the filters and adjustments, so we'd all know when we were approaching the danger zone.
