The first version of Photoshop was issued in 1990, but the art and craft of manipulating photographs has existed since the invention of photography.

The cheeks of tintype portraits might be dabbed with a touch of blush. Photographs were manipulated for political or ideological reasons. Sometimes doctored versions were contrived just for fun.
