Authentic Digital Image Processing

Abstract

Digital photography, while convenient, is increasingly scrutinized for its susceptibility to manipulation. The ability to easily alter images raises concerns about authenticity, leading viewers to question the truthfulness of what they see. This has diminished trust in digital images, as extensive editing can obscure the original scene. In contrast, the resurgence of film photography highlights a desire for a more authentic and deliberate approach to capturing moments. The challenges faced by digital photography underscore the need for greater transparency in image editing and presentation.
