A lot of credibility can be lost if "photoshopping" is allowed.  I'm not even sure if cropping is allowed.  We all know how a simple crop can totally change the feeling and focus of a photo.  Free press is supposed to be based on facts.  Journalists have gotten into serious trouble for fabricating "facts". The photographer's shadow was in the picture, that's the fact.  The shadow transformed into a stupid dust cloud is a fabrication.  Not only was he incompetent, he was irresponsible as well.  He got what he deserved.</blockquote>
