Adoption. Adaption?

Traditional (often black and white) physical prints are scanned and adapted in PhotoShop before being re-printed.

Came across something similar during a user study of the communication habits of low income manual workers in China - the living room/bedroom/study had a Photoshopped photo of the wall showing the couple dressed as bride and groom. The photo and backdrop taken years after the event because they did not have formal photos of the event.

Mainstream availability of the tools to re-write history? Who will re-write what (personal) history? Why?
