'''Photo Manipulation''' is the altering of photographs to add, remove or alter something in the scene with an intention to deceive the viewer. A shortened for photo manip or just manip is used in the trade. In recent years it is most often done digitally by using software on a computer. [[Photoshop]] is a well known program that is used commercially to edit [[photographs]].
Alterations like removing power lines or removing skin defects from models are not considered photo manips by the trade.
An example of a photo manip would be placing one persons head on another persons body.
