Thanks to  Neurophilosophy i was pointed onto a very interesting article by Elizabeth Loftus, in the latest journal of Applied Cognitive Psychology about how changing photographs can dramatically change memory. From neurophilosopy:

“It was found that manipulation of the photographs influenced the participants’ memories of the events very strongly.”

Mo from neurophilosophy also raises the interesting point:

If misleading information can so easily distort previously encoded memories about past events, then memories of public events, and attitudes towards them, could be distorted even more drastically if doctored images are presented when the event is taking place (i.e. when memories of the event are being encoded).
