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.

When I take portraits, in post processing I may soften skin, remove zits, whiten teeth, narrow faces, widen eyes. Never once has anyone accused me of lying.

When I heavily edit an image I usually mention that I have done so. I guess it is a personal preference, I see a lot of images online especially in Facebook groups that have been expertly processed with little or no mention of what they have done... I guess it is up to you.

Unless we’re talking photojournalism I assume every nice image I see has been processed in some way. Is it a big deal that Ansel Adams modified his images in the darkroom using dodging and burning? No. He used the tools available to him to modify the original exposure and create art.
The only difference I see is that today we have better tools.

I agree 100%. I also believe every published image I see has been modified to some extent from gentle tweaking to sky replacement, etc. I take images for my own enjoyment and not for publication so I have no problem modifying them for my own satisfaction.

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.
You are absolutely correct! Even the camera modifies a jpg. You don't ask a painter to disclose what paints they use and it is no one's business

I WILL NOT use any thing including clouds that I didn’t shoot
I may very well be wrong here but I feel all of my images MUST be mine from my camera
I don’t feel that I need to disclose PP I would suspect 99.99999% of images had some sort of digital manipulation
Look at Ansel Adams all of his prints are manipulated
so now we’re in the digital age of photography
What I don’t particularly like are images with heavy “AI” where the image would have been impossible to capture as presented, moving buildings,mountains stuff like that

You did an excellent job emulating the illumination of the setting sun. To answer your question, is it expected of a painter to explain or justify their use of particular color choices in depicting a subject?

I think it depends on who your viewers are, and the purpose of the image. Here on UGG, I and many others, appreciate knowing the settings and techniques used.

That is a personal decision. I don't feel that way but that's just me. I can not and will not dispute your decision for you.

The camera does some based on the settings you supply, so that's probably 100% (even if you don't change the default settings).

IMHO, there is art and there is documentation. They are completely different things and subject to different 'rules'.

It's a photo they created, not necessarily "took".
Why is it always assumed that that's what the camera saw?
Should it be announced that a photo was edited to enhance a particular look also???

It doesn’t matter how you got to your destination - driving a stick shift or an automatic - just so you get there. There’s no such thing as an unedited photo since cameras do so much editing internally. SOOC is as close as you can get.

Does a woman disclose when she applies makeup to enhance how she looks? Does her applying makeup provide her with a good feeling? Does a person that cheats on their tax form disclose that they did so?
