Note:
Dr. Steven Ghim's intraoral photography class
will rarely enter any photo manipulation discussions which include changes
in hue, chroma, sharpness, and removal / adding of "blemishes." (Exceptions
may include cropping, lightening and darkening the whole photo as this can
be done with "regular" film.) Although digital has made intraoral photography
faster and easier, it has given dentists carte blanche for computer savvy
manipulations. Dr. Ghim believes that nearly all parameters for digital intraoral
photography should be set on the camera. Any dentist who changes 'not clinically
acceptable and viewable areas of work' or even adjusting hue, value, and chroma
on selected teeth using commercially available software to promote
their work or what our profession can offer, is a discredit to themselves,
the profession, and lying to their colleagues and patients.
