The circumstances and motivation behind any Photoshopping malfeasance are rightly where our ethical debate should be focused.

However, on a larger scale I fear that the ease with which we accept altered photos as a fact of life may have more serious consequences than darkened skin down the line…

But like you said it isn’t right to doctor some images because of the distortion of truth and the way the public perceives this distortion. This is a good start for at lest two of the essay topics. I’m interested to see which one you picked.
