image manipulation
Editing visual files
Image manipulation is the alteration of photographs or digital images—adjusting colors, removing elements, combining sources, or otherwise changing the visual content.
The term covers both routine editing (basic image manipulation like cropping and color correction) and deceptive practices (The photo was dismissed as obvious image manipulation).
In discussions of misinformation, image manipulation often implies intent to mislead.
