Faking a Photo

Photos have been known to be edited throughout history. This had been done discreetly but evidence has been collected from throughout the years. Some more serious than others but this does alter facts of history and life. You cant always believe what you see and now photo journalism get sacked on the spot if they are caught altering an image.
some edits of a photography can be as small as darkening the image which can give a big impact on the actual picture for example Benito Mussolini had a horse handler with him in a photo taken of him on a big horse but to make himself look more heroic he had the horse handler removed from the original image to create a macho look of himself taming a horse by himself. in the image on the left you can see the man on his own but in the second photo the original shows he wasn't alone
