There are absolutely different levels of image editing. Color correction, cropping, scale, and rotation are basic enough that I would say they don’t even count as alterations. They’re just correcting what the camera didn’t. (Fun fact, what the sensor sees is not what it presents you in a jpeg.) Then there are more deceptive levels of editing, like removing or adding objects, altering someone’s appearance, swapping faces from different shots. Those are definitely image alterations, and what most people mean when they say an image is “photoshopped” (and you know that, don’t lie). Then there’s AI, where you’re just generating new information to put into the image. That’s extreme image alteration.
These all can be done with or without any sort of nefarious intent.
you don’t have to use Adobe Photoshop to do the verb photoshop of an image. Your lack of awareness of this, your argument against this, makes you retarded.
I literally described to you what people mean by “photoshopping” in the comment you’re responding to. Can you really not tell that I know that? Also, dropping the r slur will definitely help get your point across, right? You’re really living up to your username.
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”.
Cropping can completely change the context of a photo.
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.
Image manipulation is still image manipulation
If I open an image in Photoshop and crop it, it’s photoshopping.
You don’t have to open photoshop to do it. Any basic editing software will include a cropping tool.
🤦♂️

🤦♂️ just… retarded. You are giving the intellectually disabled a bad reputation.
So we agree cropping is plain and simple image editing, yes?
