2. You shoot a head-and-shoulder portrait of the

new commanding officer. After pulling up the image
on the monitor, you notice a smudge of lipstick on her
teeth. It is acceptable and ethical for you to remove the
lipstick from her teeth because this does not change her

appearance. However, it is not ethical for you to
straighten a crooked tooth because this changes her
natural appearance.

Currently, official instructions and guidelines are

nonexistent for electronic image enhancement or
manlpulatlon. Therefore, it is important for you to have
high, personal, and ethical standards. Unlike
conventional silver-halide photography where
photographic prints can be compared with the original
negative, digital images can be retouched or changed
with absolutely no evidence of modification.
