The question on consent is something I'm trying to figure out. Do you need consent to alter an image that is available in a public space? What if it was you who took the picture of someone in public?
Keep in mind there is a difference between ethical and legal standards. Legally you may not need consent to alter a photo of someone unless it was a copyrighted work possibly. But ethically it definitely requires consent, especially in this context
The difference between legal and ethical is one could get you fined or imprisoned and the other would make a group of people not like you.
