Is this "Photoshopped"?


I can only hope Bush would actually see some of the ANSWER/UFPJ 9/24 March on Washington, but I don't believe it.

Here are some of my pictures : http://www.wydeyed.com click on Logos.

5. Just checking.
Part of the super-duper, double-industrial strength, reality check I always try to do.

3. i think if this were real
we'd see * with his middle finger extended, not a look of concern, unless that look is one of boredom.

4. When the background images are sharper than the foreground objects
yes, it's been photoshopped

7. That could be a depth of field issue, though
I guess that doesn't apply much anymore what with digital photography.

6. You can tell it's Photoshopped...
Notice how clear the images on the screens are. Then, notice how everything else in the picture is blurred. That's a dead giveaway.

8. Too obvious
The 'video' screens are much clearer than the people in the seats. The opposite would be normal, * and the Gen'ls clear and the video feeds more distorted.

15. OTOH, the people in the seats are naturally more
distorted and weird looking that those in the videos.

Just saying...

9. This is like the most surreal photoshop I have ever seen.
It's obviously photoshopped bunt I can't figure out how many pictures are being used and why.
It is like a sports bar/Applebees in the left background but then it turns into a NOAA weather report breifing in the back right and
then there is Chertoff who looks like a quadripalegic.

11. No so much that the foreground's "blurry".
It's GRAINY.

Besides, if that weren't Photoshopped, bush wouldn't be sitting down and looking sullen, I'm sure.

12. If it was, they did a very good job
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 11:02 AM by whatever4
I zoomed in 800X and can't find anything that looks altered, but I'm not a pro. The screens on the walls all have shadows, showing there either really were screens, or that the whole wall was faked, which is harder to do with all the people in the forground. And you can see the images on the screens leave reflections on the outer black screen casing, especially the one on the far right; that orange practially shines on the walls too, not just the bottom edge of the panel.

so, if it's a fake, it's a really good one, imho.

Edit to fix spelling and say, I think you all must be right, the screens are clear and the foreground isn't. That would be a funny picture. They worked on this a lot, is what it looks like to me. Funny, if they worked that hard on it, whoever did, why didn't they distort the images on the monitors? I guess the point was to see the monitors. As if it matters. Halfway decent job, aside from that.

14. Of course it's faked.
It's real easy to tell, too.

If * was REALLY watching these there would be at least one video monitor tuned in to Nikelodeon and another to the Cartoon Network.
