So overall, although manipulation occurs in digital photography, it is not a new concept. However, digital technology has only made manipulation easier. This new visual medium requires no negative and is both easier and faster. However, this manipulation is more relevant as it becomes easier to control, especially on the Web. Although we often do not question the camara, we have to understand that a certain level of manipulation goes into all photography.
Images are never what they appear to be.
Every image suggests something. Emerging technology has a profound effect on this manipulation. It is now becoming easier to do and more accessible to everyone. The media has less to fear becuase they are able to manipulate photographs to their benefit. Now the media can manipulate photographs of victims of torture to suit their own needs.
