Original Photo:


Altered Photo:


Photo of cloned building:

 

Whoever altered that picture needs punishment. NOT because the altered photo is misleading, but because the altered photo looks like crap.

 

I agree.

 

I concur. Damn, they got amatuers manipulating those photos. Man, they should be hiring us to do it for them.

 

Thats a seriously bad photmanipulation. It really doesn't even look like more damage was done in the second one, which basically negates the whole point of doctoring it ><

 

The person who did it was fired.

 

I don't see what advantage cloning the building or smoke made...

 

They wanted it to seem like more damage was done. Apparently, to them, alot of smoke = destruction.

 

It doesnt look to me like more damage was done in the edited one at all. The town actually looks a bit brighter and happier ;/

 

wow that is some poor stuff right there, i cant imagine why they wouldnt hire some people off this site lol

 

I find their altering skills amusing.

 

Bah thats silly.

I also saw on the news that the president of Lebanon told the press that their we're 40 killed in raids today..

The truth : 1 person was killed.

 

lets see what you can do with the original photo ;/

 

its common sense that they make everything look bigger than it is in the news , but in Lebanon's case , they dont really need to alter that picture to make it look big
