The US Department of Defense believes it needs to take a position on digital manipulation of photographs because:
Computer digital technology makes removing or adding elements to photographs or video images fairly simple-and usually undetectable. To guard against the potentially dangerous effects such manipulation can have on military leaders who use digital images to make decisions and to ensure the credibility of Department of Defense (DOD)-produced images, former Deputy Secretary of Defense John Deutch issued a memorandum, dated 9 December 1994, to establish DOD guidelines regarding digital manipulation of official DOD photographic and video images. These include any images recorded or produced by persons acting on behalf of DOD activities, functions or missions.

The Metafilter thread has some interesting comments and questions: “One difference between film and digital, before the darkroom, is that with a digital camera, you don’t have anywhere near the wide range of different films available. I’ve started to take into account the characteristics of the film I’m using, or, conversely, select film depending on what I’m going to be photographing. Since this variety of effects is not available to digital ‘film’, I believe digital photography should be given more latitude with after-effects.”
