Photographic Scandal?

In my opinion it matters completely on what the photographer wants. The only time I think it is wrong to digitally alter a photograph is when you change the photo to make someone look bad. Such as celebrities, leaders, and any other person that walks on this earth. That is just mean in my eyes, and unnecessary. When changing photographs for artistic reasons however, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Photoshop, Illustrator, and Bridge were made to be used, so why would you waste the technology. You don't have to like it, but you don't have to take other's joy of using it away either. My personal preference when it comes to pictures are the completely nature ones. Those to me stand at the top. This is my opinion though, that is looking through my eyes. The real challenge here is to look through the eyes of another.
