Photo manipulation is an editing method of artists and photographers to enhance an image. However, despite its beneficial intentions, there has been an issue with the effect of manipulated images on the people. It produces idealistic perfection that does not exist and is sometimes used to simply exploit an image for harmful reasons. Unfortunately, since photo manipulation is continuously progressing, people have been exploited into believing these kinds of photos are presumably true. This research aims to discover how easy it is to deceive people online through photo manipulation and their attitude towards it. The participants in the research were separated into two, adults and young people. The result of this research proves the theory that people are easy to deceive online. However, their attitude toward digitally manipulated photos is both completely different.
