• Image Manipulation Assignment (U3A1) Due May 14, 2010
  • Research the famous picture of Decker’s fall at the 1984 Olympics. The objective of the assignment is to give you an opportunity to research this early, famous case of photo manipulation.
  • What was the offending object? Do you as think that it was acceptable to retouch the picture? Did it change the meaning of the picture? Give your reasons why (or why not).
  • If you absolutely can’t find any information about Mary Decker and the 1984 Olympics, feel free to substitute another case where digital manipulation (or “image doctoring”, “hoaxes” or “photo retouching”) caused controversy. Other famous examples include the National Geographic cover photo of the Egyptian Pyramids and the famous OJ Simpson portrait on the cover of Time magazine.
