It sounds like this decision was made by an executive type with no technical knowledge of photography. I guess dodging and burning are now the enemy of truth. But if photographers are still allowed to crop and adjust levels, how is it going to stop dishonest photoshopping? Is Reuters going to only allow the use of cameras that generate JPG checksums, with all cropping and levels editing done in camera? Prepare for a lot of badly-exposed backlit, side-lit and sunlight-with-black-shadows pictures, I guess. --Peter
