The OP mentioned that the photo was "soooo altered". First thing that pops into my mind is if it was drastically altered, why does the OP even want his name on it. Secondly, I agree that no publisher wants to deal with a potential copyright infringement, so they will most likely not even use it. However, this puts his friend now into a bind. I still think this was a good lesson for the OP, and he just needs to move on now and plan for next time. At this point, is the friendship worth it? Perhaps it is, but perhaps it isn't?

Hey, just kidding.
You should still get your credit for the photos, after, all, you shot them. I mean, they came from somewhere, no matter how altered they are, they are still yours.

I agree and I think you should take it up to your friend, sounds like he should step in for you (if he is a real friend, he will be upset about it just as you are and do something about it)!

When I was in college, 4 decades ago or so, I did a photo shoot for 4 classmates who formed a gospel group and were publishing a record. They needed a photo for the albumn cover. It was a very low budget affair so all I asked for was $10 for the B&W film and photo paper and a credit on the albumn for the photo, along with a copy of the albumn for me to keep. (At the time I was still toying with the idea of getting into photography as a full time job, but that didn't happen.)
Since the photo shoot was well outside of town on a farm and we all rode out in one stationwagon I also got a supper out of the deal, before we headed back to campus.
When the albumn came out there on the back with all the other information was Photo by and my name. it was off by itself, away from the other information on the back. The group wanted to include so much information that the font kept shrinking to get it all in.
So it turns out that my name was printed in a font about 50% bigger than the names of the singers. We all had a good laugh over that.
