Pictures That Lie

My picture that lies is this picture of a cat with a human smile. I chose this picture because it seemed like a funny thing to do. The picture is just this picture of a cat that I found on Google and then a picture of a smile I also found on Google. I manipulated it by cutting out the picture of the smile and adding it to the cats face, taking out the color so it was grey and matched the cats coloring, and then blurred the edges so it looked more blended. The manipulation was not harmful because most people will realize that its not really the cat's smile, so they won't feel lied to. This relates to the article I researched because the article is talking about all the different things you can do with photoshop, especially related to artists and all the crazy things they can do now. For example, the article says "Digital photo manipulation is a new applied art that has transformed relationships among art directors, agencies, photographers, production specialists, and printers." The article I read is:
