"Doctoring" photos on TV

[indianhead]

I have too laugh at what some late night and other shows do in doctoring(?) photos of politicians, etc. I'm referring to adding someone to a scene who wasn't there originally or switching heads, etc.
I was wondering how this is done. Is it just cut and paste or is some special software used?
Thanks.

Photoshop you can do basically anything with...there is some website that I saw somewhere where it has a bunch of celeb faces that you can "liquidate" basically move around in any direction you want...forget what that was though...

I find most late night shows are rather poor at photo-editing myself.

I'm sure they could be good if they wanted to, but it usually looks like 15 min jobs.
