Civil War Generals, c. 1865 Generally regarded as the world's first commercially successful photojournalist, Matthew Brady was also one of the medium's most accomplished manipulators. In this group portrait of William Tecumseh Sherman and his top officers, he added one figure. For the record, the men are, standing, from left: Oliver Otis Howard, William Babcock Hazen, Jefferson Columbus Davis and Joseph Anthony Mower; seated, from left: John Alexander Logan, Sherman, Henry Warner Slocum and Francis P. Blair.
The Original Image: Brady added Blair at the far right. One of Sherman's corps commanders in the critical final offensive in Georgia, Blair led the XVII Corps, which protected the rear of Sherman's army during the Atlanta campaign. Like the other men in the photo, he played an important role in the March to the Sea, helping deliver one of the final blows to the Confederate cause.

I once saw a version of that picture that had Bill and Hillary’s heads interchanged. It was hilarious, but I haven’t been able to locate it in recent years. Does anyone have a link to it?

Don't have that one but I will say that Barack Obama's TAN LINES are not photoshopped.

The claims are that the shadows don't line up. Reportedly there were also several "attempts" that were located (stagings of the photo by the government).
Oliver Stoned lifted the scene in JFK from the 1970s movie Executive Action.

"However, the photo was real. The variations (and accidental erasure of the sniper scope) were caused by photo editors touching up the photo in different ways in order to heighten the contrast between dark and grey areas. This was a common practice in the publishing industry at the time, due to the limitations of the printing process."
