1. What ethical considerations must be made by someone using Photoshop to retouch a portrait photograph? - You must keep in consideration that you cannot change their features in their face, the color of their skin, or anything that makes you know that those features make that person who they are. 
2. Give an example of a positive use of photo retouching and a negative use of photo retouching. - A positive use of photoshop retouching is taking blemishes or anything on the face that is not wanted away, but still keeping the major features of that person apparent. A negative use of photoshop retouching is completely changing the appearance of the person no make them look like something their not.  Also, taking away special features that make them who they are is a negative retouching technique. 
3. Has learning retouching processes caused you to look at advertisements, magazine images and other published photos of celebrities and models differently? In what ways? - Yes, learning the retouching technique has made me look at these things differently because now I know what the process is to make someone look the way they do with no flaws or imperfections in such advertisements and adds that we see.
