Photograph manipulation

(Redirected fromPhotoshop (verb))

Photograph manipulationinvolves thetransformation or alterationof aphotograph.Some photograph manipulations are considered to be skillful artwork, while others are considered to be unethical practices, especially when used to deceive. Motives for manipulating photographs include politicalpropaganda,altering the appearance of a subject (both for better and for worse), entertainment and humor.

Australian photographerFrank Hurleyformed thiscompositephotograph from three original negatives ofWorld War Iin Belgium.[1]Hurley argued with his superiors over the ethics of compositing photos, arguing that war was conducted on such a vast scale that it was impossible to capture the essence of it in a single negative.[2]

Depending on the application and intent, some photograph manipulations are considered anart formbecause they involve creation of unique images and in some instances, signature expressions of art by photographic artists. For example,Ansel Adamsuseddarkroom exposure techniquesto darken and lighten photographs. Other techniques include retouching using ink or paint,airbrushing,double exposure,piecing photos ornegativestogether in the darkroom, and scratchinginstant films.Software for digital image manipulation ranges from casual to professional skillsets. One of these,Adobe Photoshop,has led to the use of the termphotoshop,meaning to digitally edit an image with any program.

History and techniques

edit
Early retouching tools:gouachepaint,kneaded erasers,charcoal sticks,and anairbrush,the latter giving rise to the phrase "airbrushed from history"

Photo manipulation dates back to some of the earliest photographs captured onglassandtin platesduring the 19th century. The practice began not long after the creation of the first photograph (1825) byJoseph Nicéphore Niépcewho developedheliographyand made the first photographic print from a photoengraved printing plate.[4][5]Traditional photographic prints can be altered using various methods and techniques that involve manipulation directly to the print, such as retouching with ink, paint,airbrushing,or scratchingPolaroidsduring developing (Polaroid art).[6]Negatives can be manipulated while still in the camera using double-exposure techniques, or in thedarkroomby piecing photos or negatives together. Some darkroom manipulations involved techniques such as bleaching to artfully lighten or totally wash out parts of the photograph, hand coloring for aesthetic purposes, or mimicking a fine art painting.[7]

In the early 19th century, photography and the technology that made it possible were rather crude and cumbersome. While the equipment and technology progressed over time, it was not until the late 20th century that photography evolved into the digital realm. In the 20th century, digital retouching became available withQuantelcomputers runningPaintboxin professional environments,[8]which, alongside other contemporary packages, were effectively replaced in the market by editing software forgraphic imaging,such asAdobe PhotoshopandGIMP.At the onset, digital photography was considered by some to be a radical new approach and was initially rejected by photographers because of its substandard quality.[9]The transition from film to digital has been an ongoing process, although much progress was made in the early 21st century as a result of innovation that has greatly improved digital image quality while reducing the bulk and weight of cameras and equipment.[10]

Whereas manipulating photographs with tools such as Photoshop and GIMP is generally skill-intensive and time-consuming, the 21st century has seen the arrival of image editing software powered by advanced algorithms which allow complex transformations to be mostly automated.[13]For example,beauty filterswhich smooth skin tone and create more visually pleasing facial proportions (for example, by enlarging a subject's eyes) are available within a number of widely used social media apps such asInstagramandTikTok,and can be applied in real-time to live video. Such features are also available in dedicated image editing mobile applications likeFacetune.Some, such asFaceAppusedeep-learningalgorithms to automate complex, content-aware transformations, such as changing the age or gender of the subject of a photo, or modifying their facial expression.[14]

The termdeepfakewas coined in 2017 to refer to real images and videos generated with deep-learning techniques. The alterations can be created for entertainment purposes, or more nefarious purposes such as spreadingdisinformation.[15]Fraudulent creations can be used to conductmalicious attacks,political gains,financial crime,orfraud.[16]More recently, deep fakes superimposing the faces of celebrities and other persons onto those of pornographic performers for the purpose of creating pornographic material has become prevalent;deepfake pornographyhas been criticized due to issues with lack of consent.[17]

Rawastronomical imagesofcelestial objectsare usually generated from data provided by complex digital cameras.[18]Raw images includebinary (black-and-white)orgrayscaledata generated in response toinfraredorultravioletor other energy lying outside thevisible lightspectrum—requiring people to make technical decisions for how to transform the raw digital data into colorized pictures for human viewing.[18]For example, in images from theJames Webb Space TelescopeandHubble Space Telescope,the usual transformation is to use blue for the shortest wavelengths, red for the longest wavelengths, and green for intermediate wavelengths.[18]Both scientific accuracy and visual appeal contribute to the decisions, for both enabling accurate analysis by scientists and providing visual interest for the public.[18]Also, science visualization specialists sometimes stack images together, stitch observations from different instruments, enhance contrast, and removeartifacts.[18]

Political and ethical issues

edit
A photograph byHeinrich Hoffmannwas manipulated to showAdolf Hitlercelebrating the outbreak of World War I in Munich.[19][20]

Photo manipulation has been used to deceive or persuade viewers or improve storytelling and self-expression.[21]As early as theAmerican Civil War,photographs were published as engravings based on more than one negative.[22]In 1860, a photograph of the politician John Calhoun was manipulated and his body was used in another photograph with the head of the president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. This photo credits itself as the first manipulated photo.[23]

Joseph Stalinmade use of photo retouching for propaganda purposes.[24]On May 5, 1920, his predecessorVladimir Leninheld a speech for Soviet troops thatLeon Trotskyattended. Stalin had Trotsky retouched out of a photograph showing Trotsky in attendance.[25]In a well-known case ofdamnatio memoriae( "condemnation of memory" ) image manipulation,NKVDleaderNikolai Yezhov,after his execution in 1940, was removed from an official press photo where he was pictured with Stalin; historians subsequently nicknaming him the "Vanishing Commissar".[26]Suchcensorship of images in the Soviet Unionwas common.

The pioneer among journalists distorting photographic images for news value wasBernarr Macfadden:in the mid-1920s, his "composograph"process involved reenacting real news events with costumedbody doublesand then photographing the dramatized scenes—then pasting faces of the real news-personalities (gathered from unrelated photos) onto his staged images.[citation needed]

A photograph byAdolf Hitler's official photographerHeinrich Hoffmannwas manipulated to show Hitler celebrating the outbreak ofWorld War Iin Munich.[27][28]In the 1930s, artistJohn Heartfieldused a type of photo manipulation known as thephotomontageto critiqueNazi propaganda.[29]

Some ethical theories have been applied to image manipulation. During a panel on the topic of ethics in image manipulation[30]Aude Olivatheorized that categorical shifts are necessary in order for an edited image to be viewed as a manipulation. InImage Act Theory,[31]Carson Reynolds extendedspeech acttheory by applying it to photo editing and image manipulations. In "How to Do Things with Pictures",[32]William J. Mitchelldetails the long history of photo manipulation and discusses it critically.

Photo manipulation is largely considered a useful tool in modern political campaigning and photo manipulations are oftentimes used to amplify political messages and undermine political opponents.[33]For example, on January 6, 2020, US Rep.Paul Gosar(R-Ariz.) tweeted a photo of US PresidentBarack Obamashaking hands with Iranian PresidentHassan Rouhani,with the caption "The world is a better place without these guys in power."[34]It was pointed out that this meeting never took place and in reality was a doctored photo of a meeting between President Obama and Indian Prime MinisterManmohan Singh.[34]Gosar was criticized for attempting to spread disinformation. The photo had also been previously used in a 2015 advert for SenatorRon Johnson.[35]

In 2023, the organizers of Dublin Pride were accused of “intentionally doctoring photos” to push “propaganda” when they posted an altered image from a 1983 protest, in which the slogan"Trans rights are human rights"was added to a sign carried by a demonstrator.[36]A spokesman for Dublin Pride defended the change, saying that the "practice of altering iconic images for campaigns is a common practice".[36]The altered image was ultimately removed from the Dublin Pride website.[36]

Use in journalism

edit

A notable incident of controversial photo manipulation occurred over a photograph that was altered to fit the vertical orientation of a 1982National Geographicmagazine cover. The altered image made twoEgyptian pyramidsappear closer together than they actually were in the original photograph.[37]The incident triggered a debate about the appropriateness of falsifying an image,[38]and raised questions regarding the magazine's credibility. Shortly after the incident, Tom Kennedy, director of photography forNational Geographicstated, "We no longer use that technology to manipulate elements in a photo simply to achieve a more compelling graphic effect. We regarded that afterward as a mistake, and we wouldn't repeat that mistake today."[38]

There are other incidents of questionable photo manipulation in journalism. One such incident occurred in early 2005 afterMartha Stewartwas released from prison.Newsweekused a photograph of Stewart's face on the body of a much slimmer woman for their cover, suggesting that Stewart had lost weight while in prison.[39]Speaking about the incident in an interview, Lynn Staley, assistant managing editor atNewsweeksaid, "The piece that we commissioned was intended to show Martha as she would be, not necessarily as she is." Staley also explained thatNewsweekdisclosed on page 3 that the cover image of Martha Stewart was a composite.[39]

Image manipulation software has affected the level of trust many viewers once had in the aphorism "the camera never lies".[40]Images may be manipulated for fun, aesthetic reasons, or to improve the appearance of a subject[41]but not all image manipulation is innocuous, as evidenced by theKerry Fonda 2004 election photo controversy.The image in question was a fraudulent composite image ofJohn Kerrytaken on June 13, 1971, andJane Fondataken in August 1972 sharing the same platform at a 1971 antiwar rally, the latter of which carried a fakeAssociated Presscredit with the intent to change the public's perspective of reality.[40]

There is a growing body of writings devoted to the ethical use of digital editing inphotojournalism.In theUnited States,for example, theNational Press Photographers Association(NPPA) established a Code of Ethics which promotes the accuracy of published images, advising that photographers "do not manipulate images [...] that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects."[42]Infringements of the Code are taken very seriously, especially regarding digital alteration of published photographs, as evidenced by a case in whichPulitzer prize-nominated photographerAllan Detrichresigned his post following the revelation that a number of his photographs had been manipulated.[43]

In 2010, a Ukrainian photographer – Stepan Rudik, winner of the 3rd prize story in Sports Features – was disqualified due to violation of the rules of theWorld Press Photocontest. "After requestingRAW-filesof the series from him, it became clear that an element had been removed from one of the original photographs. "[44]As of 2015, up to 20%[45]of World Press Photo entries that made it to the penultimate round of the contest were disqualified after they were found to have been manipulated or post-processed with rules violations.[46]

Retouching human subjects

edit

A common form of photographic manipulation, particularly in advertising, fashion, boudoir, portrait, and glamour photography, involves edits intended to enhance the appearance of the subject. Common transformations include smoothing skin texture, erasing scars, pimples, and other skin blemishes, slimming the subject's body, and erasing wrinkles and folds. Commentators have raised concerns that such practices may lead to unrealistic expectations and negative body image among the audience.

Use in fashion

edit

The photo manipulation industry has often been accused of promoting or inciting a distorted and unrealistic image ofself — most specifically in younger people.[citation needed]The world ofglamour photographyis one specific industry that has been heavily involved with the use of photo manipulation (what many consider to be a concerning element as many people look up to celebrities in search of embodying the 'ideal figure').[citation needed]Manipulation of a photo to alter a model's appearance can be used to change features such as skin complexion, hair color, body shape, and other features. Many of the alterations to skin involve removing blemishes through the use of features included within popular image editing programs which are designed for just such purposes. Photo editors may also alter the color of hair to remove roots or add shine. Additionally, the model's teeth and eyes may be made to look whiter than they are in reality.Makeupandpiercingscan even be edited into pictures to look as though the model was wearing them when the photo was taken. Through photo editing, the appearance of a model may be drastically changed to mask imperfections.[47]

In an article entitled "Confessions of a Retoucher: how the modeling industry is harming women", a professional retoucher who has worked for mega-fashion brands shares the industry's secrets.[48]Along with fixing imperfections like skin wrinkles and smoothing features, the size of the model is manipulated by either adding or subtracting visible weight. Reverse retouching is just as common as making models skinnier, "distorting the bodies of very thin models to make them appear more robust in a process called reverse retouching. It is almost worse than making someone slimmer because the image claims you can be at an unhealthy weight but still look healthy. In reality, you can't, you have to Photoshop it".[48]Reverse retouching includes eliminating shadows from protruding bones, adding flesh over body parts, color correcting, and removing hair generated for warmth from extreme weight loss. Professionals are saying that if an image is not labeled "not retouched," then the public can assume that photograph has been modified.[49]As the fashion industry continues to use photos that have been manipulated to idealize body types, there is a need for education about how unreal and unhealthy these images are and the negative implications they are promoting.

A digital manipulation expert, who edited and altered a lot of images for the fashion industry and wants to remain private, says it is normal to digitally manipulate a photograph of a model to make them appear thinner, regardless of actual weight. Generally, photographs are edited to remove the appearance of up to 10 kilograms (22 lb). However, in the past 20 years,[when?]the practice has changed, as more celebrities are on social media and the public is now more aware of their actual appearances; it is likely that significant alterations would be noticed.[citation needed]The retoucher notes that the industry's goal is to make significant income in advertising and that the unrealistic ideals cycle will continue as they have to maintain this.[50]

Starting in 2012,Seventeenmagazinesaid they intended to no longer manipulate photos of their models. The decision was made after a 14-year-old girl, Julia Bluhm, petitioned that the magazine use a minimum of one unaltered photo in each of their spread per issue. The petition received over 84,000 signatures.[51]

On social media

edit

Social media apps such asSnapchat,Instagram,andTikTokenable users to manipulate photos using the back or front camera, applying pre-made filters to enhance the quality of the picture, distort themselves, or add creative elements such as text, coloring or stickers. Filters provided on social media platforms are made by social media companies or areuser-generated content.Photo editing techniques include the addition of polls, GIFs, music, countdowns, donations, and links.[52]Influencers use filters to grow engagement and boost follower activity, in order to be seen as unique,[53]creative, or fascinating. Meta reported that over 600 million people have used an AR effect on Facebook or Instagram.[54]

Mobile phone applicationssuch asFacetuneallow users to modify their own personal images.[55]Social media users, especially younger people, are thus exposed to an extreme amount of manipulated imagery presenting unrealistic, unachievable body ideals.[56][57]For example, social media platforms such as TikTok have include filters that create an illusion of physical attributes, such as the "skinny filter" and the "perfect skin filter".[54]Part of the idea of perfection on social media comes from Japanese culture and the word "kawaii",which translates to an overall aspect of cuteness; exerting fragile, girly, and childlike emotions. Kawaii-enhanced photos present a perception of perfection in a photo booth setting. This notion catalyzed the first selfie phone camera byKyocerain 1999, which led to the posting of selfies during the beginnings ofMySpacein the early 2000s.[58][59]

In advertising

edit

Photo manipulation has been used in advertisements for television commercials and magazines to make their products or the person look better and more appealing than how they look in reality.[60]Some tricks that are used with photo manipulation for advertising are: fake grill marks with eye-liner, using white glue instead of milk, or using deodorant to make vegetables look glossy.[61]

Celebrity opposition

edit

Photo manipulation has triggered negative responses from both viewers and celebrities. This has led to celebrities refusing to have their photos retouched in support of theAmerican Medical Associationthat has decided that "[we] must stop exposing impressionable children and teenagers to advertisements portraying models with body types only attainable with the help of photo editing software".[56]These includeKeira Knightley,Brad Pitt,Andy Roddick,Jessica Simpson,Lady Gaga,andZendaya.

Brad Pitt had a photographer,Chuck Close,take photos of him that emphasized his flaws. Chuck Close is known for his photos that emphasize the skin flaws of an individual. Pitt did so in an effort to speak out against media using image manipulation software and manipulating celebrities' photos in an attempt to hide their flaws.Kate Winsletspoke out against photo manipulation in media afterGQmagazine altered her body, making it look unnaturally thin.[62]42-year-oldCate Blanchettappeared on the cover ofIntelligent Life's 2012 March/April issue, makeup-free and without digital retouching for the first time.[63]

In April 2010,Britney Spearsagreed to release "un-airbrushed images of herself next to the digitally altered ones". The fundamental motive behind her move was to "highlight the pressure exerted on women to look perfect".[64]In 2014, Hungarian pop vocalist and songwriterBoggieproduced two music videos that achieved global attention for its stance onwhitewashingin the beauty industry: the #1MAHASZchart hit "Parfüm" (Hungarian version) and "Nouveau Parfum" (French version) from her self-titled albumBoggie,which reached twoBillboard charts(#3 Jazz Album, #17 World Music Album).[65][66]In the videos, the artist is shown singing as she is extensively retouched in real-time, ending with a side-by-side comparison of her natural and manipulated images as the song fades out.[67]

Corporate opposition

edit

Some companies have begun to speak out against photo manipulation in advertising their products.Dovecreated the Dove Self-Esteem Fund and theDove Campaign for Real Beautyto build confidence in young women, emphasizing "real beauty", or unretouched photographs, in the media.[68]Clothing retailerAerie's campaign#AerieREALemphasizes that their clothes are for everyone and that their advertisements have not been retouched in any way, saying "The real you is sexy."[69][70]

The American Medical Association stated that it is opposed to the use of photo manipulation. Dr. McAneny[who?]made a statement that altering models to such extremes creates unrealistic expectations in children and teenagers regarding body image. He also said that the practice of digitally altering the weight of models in photographs should be stopped, so that children and teenagers are not exposed to body types that cannot be attained in reality. The American Medical Association as a whole adopted a policy to work with advertisers to work on setting up guidelines for advertisements to try to limit how much digital image manipulation is used. The goal of this policy is to limit the number of unrealistic expectations for body image in advertisements.[71]

Government opposition

edit

Governments are exerting pressure on advertisers, and are starting to ban photos that are too airbrushed and edited. In the United Kingdom, theAdvertising Standards Authorityhas banned an advertisement byLancômefeaturingJulia Robertsfor being misleading, stating that the flawless skin seen in the photo was too good to be true.[72]The US is also moving in the direction of banning excessive photo manipulation where aCoverGirlmodel's ad was banned because it had exaggerated effects, leading to a misleading representation of the product.[73]

In 2015, France proceeded to pass a law that battles against the use of unrealistic body images and anorexia in the fashion industry. This includes modeling and photography. The models now have to show they are healthy and have a BMI of over 18 through a note from their doctor. Employers breaking this law will be fined and can serve a jail sentence of up to six months. When a creator of a photograph does not disclose that the picture is edited or retouched, no matter how small the edit, they may also receive a fine or 30% of the costs of what they used to create their ad.[74]

In 2021,Norwayenacted legislation making it a requirement to label digital manipulations of the bodies of persons when depicted in advertising. Failure to do so is punishable by a fine.[75]

Support

edit

Some editors of magazine companies do not view manipulating theircover modelsas an issue. In an interview with the editor of the French magazineMarie Claire,she stated that their readers are not idiots and that they can tell when a model has been retouched. Also, some who support photo manipulation in the media state that the altered photographs are not the issue, but that it is the expectations that viewers have that they fail to meet, such as wanting to have the same body as a celebrity on the cover of their favorite magazine.[76]

Opinion polling

edit

A survey done by the United Kingdom-based fashion storeNew Lookshowed that 90% of the individuals surveyed would prefer seeing a wider variety of body shapes in media. This would involve them wanting to see cover models that are not all thin, but some with more curves than others. The survey also talked about how readers view the use of photo manipulation. One statistic stated that 15% of the readers believed that the cover images are accurate depictions of the model in reality. Also, they found that 33% of women who were surveyed are aiming for a body that is impossible for them to attain.[77]

Dove and People Weekly also did a survey to see how photo manipulation affects the self-esteem of females. In doing this, they found that 80% of the women surveyed felt insecure when seeing photos of celebrities in the media. Of the women surveyed who had lower self-esteem, 70% of them do not believe that their appearance is pretty or stylish enough in comparison to cover models.[78]

Social and cultural implications

edit

The growing popularity of image manipulation has raised concern as to whether it allows for unrealistic images to be portrayed to the public. In her article "On Photography"(1977),Susan Sontagdiscusses the objectivity, or lack thereof, in photography, concluding that "photographs, which fiddle with the scale of the world, themselves get reduced, blown up, cropped, retouched, doctored and tricked out".[79]A practice widely used in the magazine industry, the use of photo manipulation on an already subjective photograph creates a constructed reality for the individual and it can become difficult to differentiate fact from fiction. With the potential to alter body image, debate continues as to whether manipulated images, particularly those in magazines, contribute to self-esteem issues in both men and women.

In today's world,[timeframe?]photo manipulation has a positive impact by developing the creativity of one's mind or maybe a negative one by removing the art and beauty of capturing something so magnificent and natural or the way it should be. According toThe Huffington Post,"Photoshopping and airbrushing, many believe, are now an inherent part of the beauty industry, as are makeup, lighting and styling". In a way, these image alterations are "selling" actual people to the masses to affect responses, reactions, and emotions toward these cultural icons.[80]

"Photoshop" as a verb

edit

The terms "Photoshop", "photoshopped" and "photoshopping", derived fromAdobe Photoshop,are ubiquitous and widely used colloquially and academically when referencing image editing software as it relates to digital manipulation and alteration of photographs.[81][82]The term commonly refers to digital editing of photographs regardless of which software program is used.[83][84][85]

Trademark ownerAdobe Inc.object to what they refer to as misuse of their trademarked software name, and consider it an infringement on their trademark to use terms such as "photoshopped" or "photoshopping" as a noun or verb, in possessive form or as a slang term,[86]to prevent "genericization"[87]or "genericide" of the company's trademark.[88]Separately, theFree Software Foundationadvises against using "photoshop" as a verb because Adobe Photoshop isproprietary software.[89]

In popular culture, the termphotoshoppingis sometimes associated withmontagesin the form of visual jokes, such as those published onFarkand inMadmagazine. Images may be propagatedmemeticallyvia e-mail as humor or passed as actual news in a form ofhoax.[90][91]An example of the latter category is "Helicopter Shark",which was widely circulated as a so-called"National GeographicPhoto of the Year "and was later revealed to be a hoax.[92]Photoshop contestsare games organized online with the goal of creating humorous images around a theme.
