Adobe Support wrote: The Dodge tool and the Burn tool lighten or darken areas of the image. These tools are based on a traditional darkroom technique for regulating exposure on specific areas of a print. Photographers hold back light to lighten an area on the print (dodging) or increase the exposure to darken areas on a print (burning). The more you paint over an area with the Dodge or Burn tool, the lighter or darker it becomes.

Ceaușescu was 5'5, Giscard d'Estaing is 6"2 The latter was actually born in Germany in an area occupied by France during the interbellum and he is still alive (age 92). He's fluent in German, which must have played a big role in the forming / growing in power of the EU

Soviet censors retouched old photographs, sometimes it was to edit out members and opponents that had fallen foul of the purges, and on other occasions for more mundane purpose of propaganda. Above, Chairman of the Central Commission for Party Control Nikolai Yezhov has been edited out of reissues. Interestingly, he was purged in 1940 after being blamed for the excesses of the purges. He had written a paper in 1935 arguing that political opposition leads to violence (and thus provided ideological basis for purging) and under his watch the purges went out of control with just under half of the political and military establishment falling foul of it. All purged! It may look a bit shoddy to us now, but that would have taken some serious hours to get right. I should add, the Soviets were not the only ones, the Germans, Red China and even Churchill did a spot of photoshopping too!

The Legend of the Party Photographer Newspaper editors and Party officials fret over a photograph of Ceaușescu and the visiting Giscard d'Estaing to be published in tomorrow's paper. Much argument is had over how best to doctor the photograph to make Ceaușescu appear taller than d'Estaing, and whether he should be wearing a hat. Pressure is mounting as the deadline to get the paper out to the workers approaches. A hat is duly provided for Ceaușescu in the photograph, but no one notices until too late that he was already carrying one, leaving the image of him comically carrying one hat while wearing another. ...
