Well, did you think it was authentic? Nope, and just like Obama's Certificate of Live Birth Forgery, it left a nasty Photoshop finger print.

For those you not that computer-savvy, Photoshop is image-editing software (the most popular). You can virtually superimpose one image onto another etc. Photoshop is often used to put heads on other peoples' bodies (as in the case of some Glam magazines) etc. Even an amateur with this software can make convincing, yet fake photos.

Check out the image below that Obots are trying to pass around as proof that Obama attended Punahou Private school in Hawaii.

Welcome Newbie.
Wouldn’t be posting Obama Derangement threads just to make FR look silly, would we?
By the way, every image on the Internet is processed in some form, to be jpg, tiff, or png.

I don't trust anything I see any more.

How come none of the other boys have shadows cast by their heads on their necks?

Because they're white, and shadow doesn't show up at all on a white background. ;)

BO’s crotch area is shaded compared to the boys next to him. I’d like to see the original.

Photoshop is a myth.

Barack was remembered by team mates as a Back-up Forward who would get into heated arguments with the coaches. They won the State Championship despite Mr. Know it All.

[Kadric]

Looks like he is holding a basketball between his knees.

[jaydubya2]

You’re right, I didn’t notice that.

[SvenMagnussen]

The tallest kid on the team and he plays forward?

And when it comes to a team photo, they put the tallest guy on the team who’s a backup forward in the center of the picture.

Highly doubtful.

Look how much higher his knees are to the kids next to him. He towers over those kids. And they don’t put him on the back row.

C’mon. It’s a fake.

[Grut]

Photoshop traces don't prove anything. Proof would be an otherwise identical photo, undoubtedly genuine, with somebody else where Obama is.

[Electric Graffiti]

Uhh....why would Ogabe or his Jim Jone’s followers fake a picture like this? Doesn’t make sense.....

Btw-—the picture looks fake to me. ;)

Why would he fake a basketball photo, when it is well established that he played on the Punahou team? There is video of him playing on the team, and there is a lot of evidence also.

This is all a joke to make FR look like a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists. Don’t fall for it. He did attend Punahou and he did play basketball. He would have no reason to fake this picture.

[ga medic]

I hope you are joking. How could they fake a picture that is easy to find in the school yearbook?

Another 'team' pic, repotedly from 1979:

They always put the black kid up front.

[SkyDancer]

But he was in the second row ....

[Ditter]

If it is a fake, what was it faked to prove? We know he attended this school.

[Twotone]

Lots of other interesting stories at that website. If only they were true...at least the one about his college records.

[RandallFlagg]

Remember this one?

And, another, reportedly from 1979 showing BO in action. Notice his jersey number in this pic is #23 (and his 'warm up jacket' show's #21).
