Photo Tampering: Editing what we see
If you are interested in a brief history of photo tampering and editing, Hany Farid, Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth has posted, Digital Tampering in the Media, Politics and Law. Farid looks at the history of photo editing starting back in the 1800s with an edited photo of Abraham Lincoln. He carries the process forward through the years covering politics and popular media until this past September 2007.
To find out some of the ways photos have been edited, go read the whole thing: Digital Tampering in the Media, Politics and Law. Maybe we can't believe everything we see.

Thanks for the link, I stumpled it. :)
