Disclosure of editing when posting pictures
Aug 11, 2023 21:19:27 #
For random pictures posted on image sharing sites (UHH included) I don't believe disclosure is needed.
If you are selling an image or claiming that it represents something specific, then disclosure is needed.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches.
So, it depends.

Photography is not a sport. It doesn't have a governing body that sets the rules. In fact, there are no rules for good photographs, and great photographs have just one: the photoshop work is exquisite.

All see "Color" differently.
No physical element was added that was not there.
The obtuse comments here amaze me.

In relation to your comment about color being seen differently by people - to a marginal extent yes (for most people) - more so in various cases of color blindness - but erasing color from a scene is an artistic decision - just as an artistic decision to alter a sky - or any other editing. There is nothing “obtuse” about it. The fact that you prefer to look at the art of photography as having to exist within your ridiculous set of strictures is, just that - ridiculous. I would add pathetically narrow minded.

When you look at The Mona Lisa, do you ask what brush was used?
It's art. No need to disclose.

There would be no need to ask - we know that brushes were used.
Photography is the art of capturing the real moment as it happened. If you cannot, or aren't good enough, to do that, then you're no photographer. You'd do better to go back to a coloring book and wax crayons.

Just post what you want. Unless the processing you used would be of interest to people - like us - just post it.

When you add a fake image you must disclose it.
Otherwise you are lying to the world that it is a photo you captured at the lake.
Some take umbrage at calling it lying but it is. Might as well have AI add a fake sky, or better yet do the whole thing for you.

It's picture making....a straight photograph is not real either. Do you bracket exposures? Use depth of field to create a mood or to blur a part of the photo that you don't want to draw attention. And then etc.........................................please photography is an art. Not a religion.

I shoot in RAW and therefore have to process my photographs, What I do or don't do is nobodies business but mine. When I use AI or someone else's photograph in my composites I acknowledge that.
Ditto.

I don't care if someone else does as I look at how "the image" appears as I see it on display.
One can have a sunset setting in the south for all I care.
I look at the merit of the image presented.
Love the first by the way.

I have seen old paintings of Rome that show many buildings that could never be seen at the same time. artists have been editing for years. Your edited photo is great; it is not like you are entering the shot as evidence in a trial

Photography is so much more than that, always has been.
