Absolute or Situational Ethics??

It is hard for someone to put one absolute rule for hundreds of thousands of situations. Even the professionals themselves break the absolute rule of no digitally fixing a photo when they crop or fix scratches. I think that it depends on the situation at hand. For example, making the sweater longer for the exotic dancer so it didn't show her undergarments was ok becuase it didn't change the story, but if you were to change the length of a sweater to make someone look pregnant or something along those lines then it is wrong because a false story is being made and therefore a lie. I think that a photo can capture the truth, even if the truth is one of many. Photojournalists that edit reality are obviously liars, which is not acceptable, but photojournalists that edit merely for image reasons(like if you crop, change the lighting, or change the exposure) are ok in my book.
