Image editing software has made it easy to alter any photo or video to correct for a variety of different imperfections. However, some professionals can use these programs to significantly manipulate the contents or meanings of an image or video. Such changes are often intended to influence the opinions or emotions of the viewer. Supporters argue that this type of editing is acceptable and is just another way to express an option or feeling from an editor. Critics note that this type of image and video manipulation is unethical because it intentionally misleads the viewer and often creates unobtainable or unhealthy definitions of beauty.
