The use of Photoshop or other means of digital image manipulation to remove or cover-up element of a photograph. Most commoly found in advertising and beauty magazines, especially images of women, to remove supposed flaws and imperfections by turning them into smooth-skinned, 'prefect' beings. Can be used on any other subject matter to imply and deceive rather than being used for artistic purposes. A single image may be referred to as a 'fauxtograph' or 'fauxto' and could depict flying saucers, ghosts or the head of a famous celebrity on a naked body.
