Memo to the White House: Not only was flying a Presidential jet for a photo-op Monday over downtown Manhattan in bad taste it was unnecessary.
Anyone in the White House ever hear of Photoshop?
You'd think the administration would've been tech-savvy enough to realize the merits of the computer software program what with its constant Internet spin doctoring and the President's notorious BlackBerry infatuation.
The cost of flying one of Obama's official planes a pimped-out Boeing 747 along with a F-16 jet over the city cost upwards of $300,000 in taxpayer dollars.
In comparison, the latest deluxe version of Adobe Photoshop "CS4 Extended" costs $999.
So the White House wanted shots of the presidential plane with the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Ground Zero? With some stock images, few minutes and a couple of clicks of a mouse, a White House staffer could've placed the jet in front of just about any New York landmark.
We should know. We did just that. [Ahem, see photos to the right.]
But we can't be the only ones with a flair for Photoshopping. Think you can do better? Be our guest.
Here's how:
1: Copy the Air Force one photo provided at the top of this story.
2: Graft it onto your favorite family snapshot or New York City photo.
3: Upload it directly to our Web site by clicking below in the "Your NewYork" section. Choose the category: Photoshop planes.
And finally, check back tomorrow to see the results.

BTW, I didn't mess with your image, Rebel_Ace...just cut it in half with image size code.
Many kudos on your work! Powerful!

LOL, I was inspired... found an old/foreign teaser poster for Independence Day, and did this.

I agree that the real reason for the fly over has not been given. It is no doubt, a very nefarious reason. Something very sinister. They will hide it from us if they can.
