MANIPULATION



Is this the world's biggest cock or the world's smallest woman?

I still marvel how they digitally manipulate photographs. Never mind digitally manipulating a photo, I can only just take a digital photo. Photoshop for me is a camera shop!

Do you digitally manipulate photos?
Is it easy to 'photoshop' a photo?
What are the signs that a photo has been manipulated?
If someone posted a retouched photo of themselves on this site, would you be annoyed?


Before computers, photos were sometimes retouched with ink, paint, double exposure and other devious methods. Airbrushes were also used to manipulate photos in photographic darkrooms; hence the term 'airbrushing'.

Photo manipulation occurs a lot in glamour, porn, advertising and other commercial photography.

Ruling politicians also find photo manipulation useful for propaganda purposes. Inside are stories of the Nazi Joseph Goebbels, the Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, and the 9/11 'tourist guy', who all manipulated photos.

Here is a photo of the family of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister for propaganda:

His uniformed step-son, Harald, was later added to the photo to give the impression of a family united in support of the war. Harald, at the time, was away on military duties.

In 1940, Nikolai Yezhov was executed in one of Stalin's purges. Below is the above photo without Nikola Yezhov, the 'Vanishing Commissar', released after his execution:

Below is a photo of the 'tourist guy' on 11 September 2001:

The photo was a hoax as it was proved to be taken in 1997, four years before 9/11 attack on the World Trade Centre.

Péter Guzli, a Hungarian, later confessed that he was the 'tourist guy', sometimes known as the 'accidental tourist'.

    Quoting  :

Thanks for explaining why video clips often don't come out right when uploaded onto this site.
I thought it was me, but I should have known better when Affairlook are concerned!
