Photo Tampering Reflection

Are there some instances where it should be OK and others when it should not be allowed (explain)? 

I don't have an exact opinion about whether or not photo tampering should be alowed. I do think though that it is not necessary to add bad symbolism or lies into photos. Photography captures the raw truth in photos, and it shouldn't be messed around with lies. Photo tampering can be okay to use sometimes, but as long as it doesn't insult or change the whole meaning of the picture in a bad way.

What effects, do you think, digital manipulation of photos has on our society?

It has alowed us to edit pictures so they have different effects on what the photo is trying to say. Digital manipulation has effected many different indistries such as modeling/photoshoots and all around photography, expecially when it is being put on display infront of thousands of people. (such as magazines, internet, posters, or presentations.)
