Post 6 : In your opinion, when is it beneficial, ethical, or appropriate to digitally alter photographic portraits? When do you think it is inappropriate or ethically wrong?

It’s fine to alter portraits when you’re trying to alter the aesthetics of the image. By aesthetics, I mean changing the color to boost contrast, or removing a speck you see in the background. Altering is inappropriate when trying to make a person more physically appealing. Removing a pimple, enlarging boobs and shrinking a waist are very extreme changes.
