Deception occurs when a claim is made about the image that is untrue, whether or not image manipulation occured is beside the point.
"This is the lion I took a photograph of on my holiday in Kenya." is deception if you photoshopped a zoo lion.
"This is a photograph of British Soldiers abusing an Iraqi in the back of a truck." is deception if the photograph is stage managed.
"This photograph of X aged 70 who has used our anti-wrinkle cream for 50 years." is deception if the photo of X has been airbrushed to remove the wrinkles.
In none of the cases above is the image manipulation or stage management deception in itself.
