Can copyright laws be circumvented by not using the whole image or by altering the images slightly?

It's not really circumventing the law, it's relying on a particular section of the law referred to as "fair use," which allows limited uses without licenses. Using the smallest portion of the image possible to achieve your goal (of research, criticism, commentary, education, etc.) is a good start, but your use needs to be "transformative" to be considered fair: that is, it needs to use the material in a different context from that for which it was created.
