Obama Punahou Basketball image Photoshopped with Adobe version 3.0.8
Repubx ^ | April 23, 2009 | DefendUSx

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.

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

Secondly if Obama is that tall, he would have been placed in the back row for balance ....

Because they do not have the same aura of light coming from their halo like Odumbo.

They also don’t have as big and FAT a head as Odumbo.

Yes, Photoshop is used for manipulations.

It is also used for:

So showing proof that the image came with Photoshop means nothing. I still want to see the bastard's birth certificate.

This photo looks more muscular, beefier than the adult Obama. Getting skinnier is not a normal thing to happen to a male as he matures. Especially if you were supposed to be athletic as a teen.

Not even a good forgery. He must have put his best forgers on getting him a "bullet-proof" Certificate of Live Birth (COLB). He will eventually be forced to release "it" but I'm 99% sure it will be a very good forgery.

So a presidential candidate photoshopped himself on a school basketball team picture.....why.....exactly?

Whatever.

I use Photoshop all the time. This argument is utterly unconvincing.

Maybe this article popped up so Obama can say in response to legitimate requests for his birth certificate: "Look, people are even saying I tried to fake my school basketball team photo!"

I'm quite sure Obama's team is looking to discredit the right wherever they can.

Yeah, this is a stupid controversy, but i still want to see a real birth certificate too, not some after the fact Certification of Live Birth which may or may not be official.

But, just the act of saving a graphic with PS causes this stamp, right? With or without editing, that "nasty fingerprint" shows up.

Let's see the BC (which he will NOT be able to forge his way out of since the Gov of Hawai'i has locked it down).

Yeah, I’m suspicious about this. I’m no expert in Photoshop image analysis, but generally fakes are uncovered by aspects of the image itself—repeated background, odd shadows.

For someone to rely on the Photosho STAMP without any evidence from the photo itself is ridiculous. I’ve worked in desktop publishing for over 15 years. Whenever I get a scan or a photograph I want to put in the mag what do I do? Scan it into Photoshop. The mere fact that someone used the program means absolutely nothing. It is useful for all kinds of harmless corrections like improving contrast, cropping, etc.

Antoninus, I hate to waste your time with this...but I’m pinging anyway.

This could well be a plant. What’s the deal with this website? Who owns it?

Either that or it’s just somebody who is a little overeager to uncover their own scandal.

I wouldn't stake my life on the security of that lockdown.

I already examined that photo and all of the other class photos — they are all faked.

The thing I find interesting is that you NEVER hear from anybody who was a contemporary of Baraq in his younger days.
To me that is unprecedented for somebody as famous as an American President.

Faked, eh? And your evidence is, for this photo specifically?

I’ll pull up a chair. Take your time.
