I work in Photoshop. Daily.
From my perspective both photos are faked. There probably was an original with just grandma and grandpa on the bench. But, in my humble opinion, Obama was added. It is pretty well done but the real giveaway is the light on Obama’s head. Both of the Dunhams are washed out on the top of their heads and the top of their shoulders. Obama’s image shows none of that. Not washed out on top at all. And even though he has dark hair and relatively dark skin, that kind of light would still show up.
As for the second image, it is an amateurish fake built from the first one. The stone to the right of granny Dunham has been very poorly cloned, hence the repeating patterns of exact grays and blacks. And yes, that is Obie’s knee in the picture without him.
So I think that both of these pix have been altered. The first by someone in support of Obama’s story, and the second is a fake of a fake, foolishly trying to negate Obama’s story in a disingenuous fashion.
He was removed from pic 2, this is intended to confuse the issue. Grandpa’s hand looks like it’s floating because one cannot actually touch the messiah. lol
I think this needs more explaining.
There is evidence, from anatomic analysis and the appearance of the left hand, that obama was photoshopped INTO the photo of the grandparents.
The second photoshopped image of the grandparents without obama in it is to show how more “realistic”, “natural” (?) it is if obama WAS NOT in the photo.
This is to illustrate how much more abnormal the first image is, and how it would be more natural if the original image did not have obama in it.
When the topic first came up years ago, I think some people tried to identify where the photo was originally taken from, from identifying the benches, but were unable to.

Ok, these are both Photoshopped.
It is photoshopped. I do this stuff all the time.
One area you can tell is on gramps shoulder next to 0’s shoulder is not as dark in the before pic. Also the area where the wall shows through should be showing gramps arm and not the wall. The area just to the right of gramps knee has a blue tinge which is gone in the shopped pic.
Probably other areas but those sure jumped.
In the top photo, what is that odd area between the bottom of Obama’s left leg, and the bottom of her right leg? Doesn’t look like the rest of the background at the base of the wall.
However, 0bama has been photoshopped in as president.
The Obama Grandparents photo is Photoshopped , but it is the Grandparents that are added.
The blogger should delete the post before anyone else notices.
My goodness grandpa has a very long arm considering where his elbow is and his hand appears. Very strange.
The one without Obama has been photoshopped.
Check out the repeating patterns in the wall to the right of Grandma. Its as bad as the Iranian missile photos.
Gramps hand looks awful funny if someone can zoom in on it.
Look at Granny in the second picture. Notice how much she has “moved” to her left closer to the reverse “L” shaped brick joint. Grandpa said “Scoot your ass over and let this boy sit down.”
Ok....I have used photoshop and it looks like the bench has been photoshopped where granny was sitting (with zero in the center). Obama was erased.
The edge of the bench is a little too rounded beneath the slat of bench which should be straighter. The rock beneath that part of the bench is photoshopped....you can see the patterns copied after that big spot in the rock at right edge, just beneath the bench.
Line up with that part that matches in the above photo...and proceed to your left looking at the rock....it is copied from same source. Same with rock above the bench....sections are copied from the same source point. No large area would have same exact shadows and shapes in rock...tile maybe, but never rock.
Someone erased zero....His grandparents were horrid people, so I don’t see the problem with him sitting with his fellow travelers. Maybe they are on their way to a temple to worship Satan and that explains their excitement.
Both photos look altered, IMO.
The below photo - without Obama - is photo-shopped. It is obvious at a glance.
