a mess to be made
Monday, August 07, 2006

I've been reading up on the doctored photograph that Reuters's freelance photographer put out on the bombings in Beirut. It's a shame that photo editors in Reuters did not catch such an oblivious manipulation. Look at the smoke and how repetitive it is. It is easily accomplished by using the clone tool in Photoshop. If you want to pull a fast one on the public, at least make an attempt to use Photoshop and make things look believable. This, Adnan Hajj, sure sucks at photo manipulation and should not be a photojournalist if he decides to pull fast ones over us and try to make news bigger than they actually are. Good thing Reuters dropped him.
