I don't think so, but might be wrong. Image editing back in the late 1930's and early 1940's was FAR more labor intensive then digital video editing today. Doctoring photos was certainly possible, but it was much easier to simply take pictures of actors or new arrivals than take pictures of starving people and edit the pictures.
i'm not excusing the nazis or japanese fuckers but those 'starving prisoners' were a result of our bombing campaigns against the germans and the japanese in the philippines. i mean think about it logically. if the germans had starved these prisoners for at least 2 years they would have died long, long ago. the food emergency only started around february 1945. within 3 weeks all of these poor prisoners and even the german soldiers ended up like that unless they were SS or had a general who hoarded a lot of food for their garrison. that was when our forces came upon the german concentration camps. and in the philippines...i mean, come on...if the japanese wanted to starve our soldiers to death in luzon, philippines they would have been dead like since june or july 1942. it was almost 3 years later when they were liberated. the food problem again didn't become an issue until right before the luzon landings in january 1945. the japanese were starving all over the pacific. that was how effective our air force and navy was in WWII.
Sure, when the Japanese and German soldiers and civilians started to starve, the prisoners didn't get fed well either.
However, there are thousands of pre-food-shortage eyewitness accounts of prisoners being worked like slaves and fed far less than what they needed to stay healthy. Both the Germans and the Japanese did it. The Russians did as well, with their German captives.
The prisoners in question were being intentionally held right at the edge, where they could still work, but most did not have enough energy to seriously consider escape or resistance.

They absolutely had the ability to manipulate photos back then. The soviets were known for their fake propaganda photos:
