An enhanced Multimedia Messaging Service Center (MMS+Center) that manipulates photographs contained in MMS messages sent from camera enabled mobile phones. The Center receives an original photograph in an MMS message together with location information for the camera-enabled mobile phone. Utilizing the location information, an image associated with the location of the mobile phone is extracted from an image database. A photograph manipulator creates a modified photograph by pasting the extracted image into the original photograph. A preview of the modified photograph is sent to the mobile phone for review. If the preview is approved, the MMS+Center sends the modified photograph to the recipient.
