I am against the practice of digitally ALTERING a family pic to include someone who was never there.
That is quite understandable, I would not be comfortable with that either. But there’s a difference between an alteration of addition and an alteration of omission.
Had Hamevaser added R’ Ahron Leib Steinman or, l’havdil, President Obama to the picture, that would have been blatantly wrong.
they should have blurred her out or cropped the photo
Why is cropping better? Is it important to the story where she was sitting or standing?
