The technology to manipulate photos has existed almost as long as the camera has. The Soviet Union used darkroom editing to remove people they didn't want to acknowledge, for example Leon Trotsky. Ansel Adams spent hours printing his photos, modifying the original negatives to get the results he wanted. Playboy used airbrushing to "improve" their centers for years before photoshop became a standard.
The difference is now people know it can happen, whereas before it was hidden in the studios and publishing houses.
