Manipulasi gambar


Definition from own experience or research:
I believe fauxtography was derived from the combination of French term 'faux' (which has been absorbed to English) meaning 'false' and '-tography', I believe came from the word 'photography'. Thus, imo, fauxtography literally means 'false photography', which points out that the photograph is either a lie or was faked, so the photograph was highly possible of being manipulated.

Manipulated photograph means 'Manipulasi gambar' or 'Gambar yang termanipulasi' in Indonesian. I choose the first one.
