As I recall the image editing is true (partially) - images did get edited. However, while there was a policy of editing images (mostly for clarity), and a department responsible for it, that policy didn't include deliberate cover-ups of unknown objects. That probably arose from some misguided individuals who took the policy too far.
Of course, there may well have been knee-jerk initial denials by NASA officials which would have fed the theorists and given rise to the cover-up theory.
The rest of it, well, what can I say.
