No, it should be: don't trust photos, be it cell phone or camera. :)
There is an interesting research where people were shown a picture of a wedding some years in the past. The picture was photoshop'd with another person added in--he couldn't make it that day.
Turns out, everyone who was at the wedding saw the picture then came up with interesting stories about this missing guy at the party. Memories, based on the photoshop'd image, told tales of funny anecdotes of a guy who wasn't even there.
Here is another study: http://www.springerlink.com/content/ju84441735125225/ I'm sure you can google other such results.
Pretty soon, not on the touch up, you can probably 'add' in yourself to the photo.. hehe. Pretty scary, actually.
