Minor alterations to photographs, such as \u2018limited cropping\u2019, toning and colour adjustment, and conversion to greyscale, are considered acceptable.<\/p>\n

The report concedes that what constitutes a \u2018minor\u2019 change is open to interpretation, however.<\/p>\n

The report\u2019s author, Dr David Campbell, said\u00a0there was a clear consensus that \u2018manipulation\u2019 of an image, meaning the addition or subtraction of content, is not acceptable.<\/p>\n

The Integrity of the Image<\/em> report suggests that the process of image verification would be \u2018enhanced and encouraged\u2019 if creators and publishers were to adopt \u2018new and transparent practices detailing how an image has been made\u2019 \u2013 by creating a \u2018digital audit trail and certified workflow\u2019.<\/p>\n

Campbell said he hopes the report will encourage industry debate on the issue, following concerns about the credibility of news and documentary photos that have erupted, periodically, over the past decade.<\/p>\n

For example, in 2009, a photographer was\u00a0forced to defend<\/a>\u00a0his digital manipulation of an image that led to his disqualification from the World Press Photo competition.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are now in an era of computational photography, where most cameras capture data rather than images,’ states\u00a0the report.<\/p>\n

\u2018This means that there is no original image, and that all images require processing to exist.\u2019<\/p>\n

One\u00a0possible way forward for image verification, said Campbell, would be for the image to be accompanied by a biographical statement about the image maker, their previous work and general perspective.<\/p>\n

This would be in addition to records showing who funded the photographic commission and who provided the logistics, along with EXIF file and geotag data, and how information captured in the camera has been processed.<\/p>\n

In this way, the onus would shift from \u2018forensic detection after the fact, to validation and verification of the image production process as it happens\u2019, the report asserts.<\/p>\n
