The picture that I decided to alter was a picture of a sitting bear. In this photo, I inserted two babies, one crying and one happy, by using the magic wand tool and the magnetic lasso. I also imported a sign that says Yellow Stone National park to give the impression that it was a vacation photo. I altered the saturation, hue, brightness and contrast of the photo.
One article that I read was "Changing History: Doctored Photos Affect Past Public Events". In this article a group of people altered photos and allowed them to be seen by the public. These pictures were events were significant public events that happened in the past in Beijing and Rome. The interesting thing about this was that once people saw the pictures their perception of the events that took place were different. For example, people in Rome saw a public protest as more violent and negative.
