What is the ruling on editing a picture that contains several people by deleting some of them using photo editing software?

Modifying images by removing people from them varies in ruling depending on the intention. If the intention is deception or fraud, then it is forbidden. However, if it is for a legitimate interest, such as removing images of living beings or images of nudes and those who display their adornments, or for permissible purposes, then there is no objection to it.
