Danish Photoshop Debate Leads To Disqualification
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK (April 13, 2009) – Ethical questions surrounding photojournalists' use of Photoshop in image processing is not a controversy confined to the American market. Currently the embroilment rages in Denmark, where at least one photojournalist has been disqualified from a contest because it's been determined that his image manipulation went too far.
I agree wholeheartedly with this call. His images are super tweaked out in a HDR program and fall well outside what I consider right for Press footage. This is heavy, heavy tweakage to the image.
That and super hdr images done poorly look like flickr trash....
