    Current consensus on retouching ethics

    Hi Retouch Pro community,

    I was wondering what the current take on issues of retouching and journalism were. I had felt like writing a bit on my blog about this issue of a photographer basically losing his entire practice because he removed details out of a photo.

    I firmly believe that if AP/Magnum/Reuters says you cannot retouch anything you should follow those guidelines.

    What happens if a client came to you with such a job, something that you knew was in this grey area of "off-limits" images.

    please talk about it, its a touchy subject because its fundamentally what we all do for a living. There's an aspect of it that requires an ethical guidebook.

    Thanks for any responses

    Basically, if you have a usual 40hr/wk retouching job, how much of your time do you spend deciphering excel lists or other non-editing tasks,...

    Hi, i think we should have blog or forum entry for it. Because it very important subject. People asking about specific looks, but it much more in it...Perhaps shooting style, retoucher style, processing(film) and all together..etc, etc. Knowing the tools and how to use them is one part of the story....

    When are we going to get ourselves some sort of standard?

    Someone comes along and says that a "retouch" takes 4 hours, another comes along and says 2 minutes - and they think they are talking about the same thing!

    I can do a 2 minute...

    Comp Retouching
    by TheVeed
    Does anyone know about 'comp retouching'? There is a position that I'm interested in that is about comp retouching, which, from what I understand, is just quick retouching.

    Can someone fill me in on it?
