I know you’re a photographer, Wolf, but there’s nothing holy or sacrosanct about a photograph that it can’t be altered.
In normal circumstances, that’s true. I edit my photos all the time. However, it is most certainly NOT true in a journalistic setting. In journalism, altering a photo is a cardinal sin.
Unless the paper is something akin to The Onion, they should not be altering photos. At the very least, they should indicate that the photo has been altered.
