Shopped


Al-Ahram, the state-run newspaper in Egypt, recently ran the above photo of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak leading President Obama and other world leaders during Middle East peace talks at the White House.
But that's not quite how the walk to the East Room played out. The BBC reports that Al-Ahram apparently had some fun with Photoshop, and placed the country's leader up front.

I’ve noticed how BO always walks in front of other people — even cutting off a guy in a wheelchair the other day.

They flipped Mubarak too. Seems like he could’ve been just cut and pasted. I don’t know Photoshop.

He certainly does it with Michelle...all the time...even going up and down steps. It even LOOKS rude.

Yep, his tie is askew to the left in one picture and to the right in the other one.

Several years ago, I had a photo of my niece and myself sitting on a couch with my left arm around her shoulders. What came out and made me sit up and take notice was that my middle finger, left hand is amputated, the photo clearly showed I had a finger on that hand that didn't belong there. It was weird until I found out about being "flipped".

Wasn’t just a flip, look at his right arm. They flipped him, and then I believe they cut the right arm of the leftmost guy and put that on Mubarak. You can even see artifacts of them messing with the other guy’s right arm, if you look at the edge. Then it looks like they pasted Mubarak’s head back on unflipped, and did a some touching up on the shadows to match the new positions.

Lol, I’ve heard of “phantom limbs”, but I didn’t know they showed up on photographs :)

There’s a great website, dedicated to bad photoshop jobs. This should be there.

If he was a good Muslim he’d have to do that, I’d think.

Ever notice his annoying penchant for patting others on the back? This is a display of superiority indicating “you’re OK with me and you’re lucky that I acknowledge your presence”. Obama is the Narcissist-in-Chief.

Take a look at the carpet runner back where Mubarak actually was. Didn't do a very good job of matching the pattern.

Yeah, they actually removed the entire background during editing, as you can see the tile floor is gone, and the runner is a different color, but also, look at the runner under the guy on the right in both photos. The circular medallion is in different position. So they clearly removed the entire background, fudged with the people, then pasted them back on a washed out and enlarged portion of the carpet.
