In professional circles, what is considered the industry standard program for photo editing?
Photoshop
Photoshop is a (paid) program from Adobe.
GIMP and paint.net are examples of free alternatives to Photoshop.
At a music festival, I take general photos of the crowd. Later, the editors receives complaints from a person who recognised them self in a photo and does not want that image to be published any more. Does the editor legally have to remove the photo?
No, you absolutely can use this photo, as long as that person is not the most important or the narrative element of the picture.
(be sure to read the extra information)
Even ordinary citizens must sometimes accept being filmed or photographed in context of news reports, for example at a public events. Picture journalists have always been allowed to capture images of public areas, including the people there, for example at a court of law. Thus, image rights are waived in the case of news images and photos, film or video recordings of a crowd. But there are still limitations. Be careful when reproducing an image of someone in a situation that might damage their reputation. Publishing a photo of someone in a denigrating context, is also not done.
Can a police officer require that I delete pictures from my camera or hand over the memory card?
No, not without a warrant.
