Photo tampering can be used in a good way or a bad way. I think it is very unethical to alter a picture enough that you totally have a different body, or a different head and sell it as the actual person, or for commercial use. Although there is a fine line their, the use of altered pictures do have a place in the printed media. I think it needs to be clearly stated that the image has been altered. Alteration to photo can be a good thing, say take a blemish out, or improve the quality of the picture. Say you want a family picture but one of you are missing and their is no way that person can get together at the same time as the rest of the family it is nice that you can photo shop the person in. I personally use photo shop to add effects, and enhance my personal photos. I like to change the background and apply different shadows and have cropped people in and out of photos for my personal use.
