Usually, when we look at the pictures from the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, we don’t normally contest its authenticity. We automatically think that they are real. But, it proves to be wrong. Even at those times, the masters of photo manipulation were able to erase an “unnecessary” person or to add one. You will also see some modern pictures that were manipulated by the media. It is also interesting to see that the media want us to see only things that arrange them. 
Civil War Generals, c. 1865
Generally regarded as the world's first commercially successful photojournalist, Matthew Brady was also one of the medium's most accomplished manipulators. In this group portrait of William Tecumseh Sherman and his top officers, he added one figure. For the record, the men are, standing, from left: Oliver Otis Howard, William Babcock Hazen, Jefferson Columbus Davis and Joseph Anthony Mower; seated, from left: John Alexander Logan, Sherman, Henry Warner Slocum and Francis P. Blair.
The Original Image
Brady added Blair at the far right. One of Sherman's corps commanders in the critical final offensive in Georgia, Blair led the XVII Corps, which protected the rear of Sherman's army during the Atlanta campaign. Like the other men in the photo, he played an important role in the March to the Sea, helping deliver one of the final blows to the Confederate cause.

Since the MTV VMA ceremony, all kinds of humoristic pictures making fun of Kanye West are popping up all over the web.
What to say, he’s the only one to blame. He provoked it. There are even a site making pictures with a “crude humor” about him. So, if you still like Kanye, don’t go see this post ;)

The photoshopped black man’s head. Instead, they put a white man’s head. Then, Microsoft has officially apologized for this misunderstanding.

This becomes more and more popular on the net, like the motivational pictures.
Of course, many of them are funny because of inscriptions and dialogues. But the fact that good pictures are chosen, with great mimics…etc counts too. What makes it even funnier is the fact that all of us know people, movies, characters which are in it.
So take a look at this great collection of commixed pictures

Very cool pictures, which show what we normally can’t see with the naked eye. For example - the airflow, the shimmering of a burning candle, hair dryer's hot air, shockwaves of explosions or of a fired gun, an invisible gas leak and much more.

It's been 33 years since Lesley Harrison is a professional painter.
She managed to combine the love for animals with her passion for painting, which resulted in a wonderful series of animal paintings. When she drew them, the artist has not only managed to capture the spirit of each of them, but also to convey individuality, grace and strength of each animal.

A small but beautiful photo series of pictures by photographer Dina Goldstein.
I would say, princesses from fairy tales that are well known to us, in scenarios of modern life...

Awesome pictures about our life with lots of glamour.

You should be very careful with such photographers... They will be able to photograph everything they can ...
They are shameless, you’ll see

Yesterday's post “Welcome to Romania” has raised a wave of discontent among our visitors from Romania. They wrote angry comments and letters and requests to refute, modify and even remove the post.
We decided not to do so, but simply to explain it.
First. We didn’t make this post by choosing a picture by picture aiming to find the “ugliest” photos. We have just republished a very old collection of pictures, which is already more than 2 years old and which has long ago been around the entire internet and was published on every second site.
Second. We did not want to offend anyone. Izismile is created for other purposes. Do not take everything so personally. If these photos exist and are all over the internet, it means that they have the right to exist on our website too. Plus, everybody knows that there are bad and good things in each country. But sometimes, it’s better to look at bad things with irony and a smile.
Third. This is not the first or the only compilation of this kind.
We already have collections about Russia and Africa.
Fourth. We have no doubt that Romania is a wonderful and beautiful country with nice and kind people.
That is what one of the visitors wrote us. I quote: "I am a big fan of your website...i always check the pics you post every morning before going to work while i drink my coffee. I think they're all amazing. Today when i checked the website i felt really offended because of the pics you posted from Romania. Although they are old and cost you alot like you said, you managed to make me and probably some other Romanian people really sad. The pictures do not reverberate how really Romania is. I hope people who check your website will not get a wrong idea about my country. It's not like the pictures shows. Your thread should have been named gipsies in Romania not welcome to Romania. I'm writing this e-mail in hope that you will find other pics to post there and show the world how beautiful Romania is..You just let some pics with gipsies to speak for themselves about how my country is...It's really wrong and it makes me really angry...Maybe you should take a look at the links below..."
Well, for everyone who wants to learn more about Romania, we have gathered the second part of photographs which gives a glimpse of the country from another angle.
Look.

The people who went and go to space are no doubt one of the luckiest people. Because they get the chance to see our home from space which is a priceless opportunity. But thanks to the space scientists and astronauts we can also see the glimpses of our earth from space through photographs.
Thanks to modern day space equipment we can capture any natural disaster or natural wonder, man made structures to landmarks. In just seconds satellites can capture every important event in earth’s history and archive it.
You can find many amazing photos of earth from space. But today we are presenting the best compilation of 26 amazing and outstanding photos of earth from space. This compilation contains photos of disasters, natural wonders, cities and landscapes.

Russian photoshoppers from leprosorium.ru made a great photomontage with world known logos of the famous brands to show how they “could act if they were not printed objects but real life creatures”.
Let’s see what did they come up with.
