071 - Photoshop and Image Manipulation

Has the ability to Photoshop images become too easy? At what point during manipulating a photo does it stop being a photo and become a digital work?

What are the ethical ramifications of AI image and video editing software that makes it possible to create deep fakes or entirely new "people" who don't actually exist?

I talk with Photoshop tutor and digital artist, Andrew Kavanagh to explore these questions and more.
