With image editing software just about anything is possible.

Everyone has noticed how clean the pacifier was. It could have been planted or photo-shopped, but with this photographers record now, anything is possible.

Hey back I have a question. Could the pacifier on the baby be photo-shopped?In the blog discussions I've read, there is a lot of questioning about how the baby ( poor thing, whatever the circumstances ) looks almost recently exhumed, but the pacifier is bright blue and clean. Assumption was it was added to the corpse, but given the track record, photoshopping would be easier.

PHOTO EDITING SOFTWARE WAS IMPROPERLY USED ON THIS IMAGE. I guess next time they'll use it properly and not get caught.
Agree. What they meant by 'improperly used' is the photographer was not 'professional enough' that it get caught. The 'properly used of editing software' means their fake pics would never get caught.
The sad part is that the photographer perhaps simply gets a 'warning' (not to be that unprofessional next time), and that's it.
