- Title
The Unexplored Ethics of Copywork Image Manipulation.
- Authors
Lazet, Amy
- Abstract
Although copywork is a common practice in the field of visual resources, there is little information on the ethical considerations of altering images digitized from books or articles. What state of the original should the final digital surrogate replicate - how the artwork appears in person or how the image in the publication appears? Does this change when the purpose of the image is documentary rather than artistic? Using as a basis Franziska Frey and James Reilly's four stages of digitizing and restoring photographs, I explore the ethical implications inherent in digitizing and altering images without possessing the original artifact or artwork, as well as discuss the importance of considering one's audience and their level of visual literacy.
