    I think every touch up besides color correction and cropping should be labeled as “photoshopped”. And any usage of AI should be labeled as “Made with AI” because it cannot show which parts are real and which are not.

    Besides, this is totally a skill issue. Removing this metadata is trivial.

      Some of the more advanced color correction tools can drastically change an image. There’s a lot of gray in that line as well.

        DOD Imagery guidelines state that only color correction can be applied to “make the image appear the same as it was when it was captured” otherwise it must be labeled “DOD illustration” instead of “DOD Imagery”

        Sure But you could also achieve a similar effect in-camera by zooming in or moving closer to the subject

        A lot of photographers will take a photo with the intention of cropping it. Cropping isn’t photoshopping.

            You don’t have to open photoshop to do it. Any basic editing software will include a cropping tool.

                Yes. I think the question was should it be labeled as “photoshopped” (or probably “manipulated”). I don’t think it should. I think those labels would be meaningless if you can’t event change the aspect ratio of a photo without it being called “photoshopped”.

      Film too, any trickery in the darkroom should be labeled because it cannot show which parts are real and which are not.

      Why label it if it is trivial to avoid the label?

      Doesn’t that mean that bad actors will have additional cover for misise of AI?
