    Not sure what that’s got to do with this… I mean you are right, there’s a lot of editing going on with smartphone images, but procedural and untentional. The current scandal over the princess of Wale’s clearly photoshopped family portrait is indicative.

    But just because one technology messes with things doesn’t provide an excuse for that to happen across the board.

    And I’m not being romantic, I’m talking about the veracity of primary historic documentation vs the need for someone to see something in colour at 60fps.

      Most pictures are postprocessed automatically nowadays. Beauty filters, pixel binding, HDR…

      Multiple layers and filters which distort ‘reality’.

      And I think you are being romantic by trying to preserve a form of originality, while technology itself has never done anything else than alter our perception of the world.

      As an example: There’s a good reason why many kids might have thought that grandpa’s reality looked black and white back then haha

      How much something resembles reality in this case is subjective.

      Some might even argue the AI footage looks closer to the truth than the original file.
