"Photoshop" for erasing memories
After the divorce, Laura Horn (in the photo she is second from the right) decided to erase her husband from her memory. She did not just throw his stuff out of the house, but also ordered editing photos from the family album. Soon she received a completely new life story in which there was no place for a hated man. “New reality,” says Laura, “is much more pleasant.” About this new phenomenon writes NY Times.
To “erase” a person from dozens of photos, an experienced master needed only a few hours of work in Photoshop or a free GIMP. A professional graphic editor has become so widely available that such work is now relatively inexpensive (in America, the work of a professional photo restorer costs $ 150 per hour), and absolutely everyone can order such a “memory clear” for themselves. Moreover, one can also carry out manipulations to change one’s appearance: to carry out virtual liposuction, teeth whitening, etc. You can even "resurrect" in the photo of someone from the dead relatives. The power of self-hypnosis in a person is so great that after many years he may not even remember which parts of the photograph are real and which are drawn. This means that the work on the correction of memories was carried out successfully.
For example, if you add a person who was not at the event to the group photo from the wedding, then other people who have not been there themselves will not be able to determine the lie. They will think that the person was there. And if everyone thinks that way, then, according to the laws of cyberpunk, his presence at the wedding will become a de facto reality.

In addition to erasing memories, Photoshop helps to generate new ones. Of course, it is an order of magnitude more difficult, but in the digital age, such manipulations will inevitably become more frequent.
