More Photoshop.

On the competition thread we have touched on photoshop again.

A couple of years ago Dawn was in Afghanistan with the TA (Territorial Army) and missed out on the work's do. A bit of photoshopping and she was there!





I should add that the photos were taken by someone else, I just did the post-production work.

Did something similar on a Family shot I took in Maui. In the revision our youngest daughter's low life ex has vanished--replaced by some additional background greenery.

Wayne,

In the old days people would have just ripped the photo in two.

Reminds me of the Soviet Encyclopedia, where people wandered in and out of the same photo over the years (and presumably in and not out of Ljubljianka at the same time).

There was the photo last year on which a politician was added in to it, because he should have been on it, but wasn't actually there.

Sid,
you are right about the Russian “photoshopping”, this had been normal these days. I once visited a exhibition with manipulated Soviet pictures: on the published photos there were often unpopular people missing. One of the most known is a 1920`s picture showing a Lenin-speech, right beside Lenin stood Trotsky, he is missing, after falling in disfavour, on the print. There are several websites showing current photo manipulation from news, magazines and newspapers, unfortunately I only know sites in German.

I know of one newspaper that has taken a stand against this kind of manipulation in order to protect their reputation. They recently fired a photographer for editing out an electric pole and wires from a photo of a baseball game. The editing had nothing to do with the subject but the paper wanted to protect the idea of what the camera saw is what got printed.
