Side Note: The World’s Most Famous Photoshop Fakes
I had to throw this story in today, it’s just too interesting to pass up.
Photopreneur posted the article and has the 7 most famous Photoshopped picture fakes ever.
I’ve put this one here because I remember when it was circulating, I followed every thread n every message board I could. I simply could not believe it was true. Turned out to be a fake, of course, but what a sick joke the Photoshopper played. You can see the whole article HERE.
Yeah nice try with the photoshopped pic of the “American Soldier” with the Iraqi civilians..if photoshopping for drama isnt bad enough, dont be a numb nuts and show a british soldier and say its an American.

Re the British Soldier pic,
“Adnan Hajj was a local stringer trying to make a political point. Brian Walski was a staff reporter for the Los Angeles Times who just wanted to make a better picture — a much more likely trap for both photographers and editors. After shooting a series of shots of American troops and Iraqi civilians in 2003, Walski found that the best composition came by merging two images together. He was fired.”
Regarding the picture of kerry with fonda,
“the collage was a dirty trick designed to derail John Kerry’s campaign.”
>> There is no bias in the media I have been told.

What about the fake photos of the Speaker of the House wearing a hijab and sucking up to the leader of a terrorist sponsoring nation?
Oh, wait. Those weren’t fake.
