Disagree.  U. S. rulings have allowed for parody.  You may wish to crop 
an image to zoom into a detail that is important to your article.  You 
may want to do an overlay to show the similarities between two people.  
You may want to do colour separations.  I could probably find other 
legitimate modifications.

Modifications have more to do with moral rights than copyrights in the 
strict sense.  That aspect of the law is not particularly developed in 
the U. S.
