Photo Editing Ethics - Decide how much retouching is honest, when a composite is still a real photograph, how to tell clients about AI edits, and how to stay relevant as AI images spread #1012496

A viewer says your best shot is fake. A client finds out after delivery that a tool you used was AI-assisted. A thread tells you photographers are about to be replaced. Everybody has a strong opinion about where editing becomes cheating, and almost nobody gives you a way to decide for yourself. Photo Editing Ethics is a practical, even-handed guide for hobbyists and working photographers who want a line they can explain and keep. It is not a contracts-and-pricing manual, a software tutorial or a shooting course: it focuses on the honest use of editing, compositing and AI tools, what to say about them, and how to stay relevant when AI images are everywhere. Inside, you'll learn: You will not be told where your line must be. You will finish with a position that is honest, clear and yours.
