An image can be changed
1 · Learn
Editing can adjust brightness, colour or selected details. These changes may make a design clearer, but can also alter what a viewer thinks happened.
A changed colour in a fictional poster is different from changing evidence in a science observation. Keep edited versions labelled and ask permission before using others' work.
2 · Worked example
I brighten a scanned drawing for readability but do not claim its edited colours are an exact measurement of a real plant.
3 · Your turn
Does a convincing image automatically prove an event happened exactly as shown?
Check your answer
No. Images can be edited or taken out of context. Check the source, purpose and supporting evidence.
4 · Apply your learning
Make a clearly labelled edited version of your own drawing. Compare it with the original and explain one change in meaning or appearance.
Adult guidance and safety
Use an adult-approved offline or school-managed application and invented non-personal data. Do not change real network settings, publish recordings or upload others' images. Follow paper models with practical work in a suitable tool and check saved files reopen.
