The dubious arts of splicing, posing and wholesale erasing in the iconic photography of history. (Be sure to view the slideshow.)
Being a Photoshop user, I am quite accomplished at altering photos when the need arises- not for deception, but to customize/retouch clients' photos. I should not have been at all surprised to learn how long this has been taking place, but I was. It's amazing just how many things never occur to us until they come up in conversation, and it's unnerving to think how much of what we see with our own eyes can't be trusted!
