Fake or not

[lemmenz]

is this picture (A-10) fake or not?

[VETdude382]

its very real

[msnger]

its fake.

look at the blur, its not natural.

[fantomas]

looks like a still from that movie Jarhead.

[Aerosoul]

its fake.
look at the blur, its not natural.

Photoshop can do blurs, too, you know...

[VETdude382]

its not fake, i got that and many other pictures from the guy who took it back in 2003 with 3ID during the push to baghdad

[Hutz]

its fake.

look at the blur, its not natural.

Doesn't mean shyte. The camera's focused on the A-10 and not the soldiers. It'd look fake if they were all in focus.
But, it could still be fake.

I think it's not fake. Just had a heavy Photoshop work behind in order to enhance dramatism. I'm thinking on O.J. Simpson mug pictures "retouched" by Time magazine in order to present a "darker" O.J..

How about every picture in Maxim and FHM. A lot (if not all) of publications do it. That's funny about OJ being not black enough for Time.

Just about ANY picture in magazines, newspapers, books whatever is digitally enhanced, even if just to enhance colours and saturation.

[silveykyle]

That can be easily done on photoshop to enhance the picture, it's probably real

[RecceSoldier]

definitley real no doubt about it

[redflash]

Photoshop can do blurs, too, you know...which means, PS job, still a fake, isnt it.

[FozzieBear]

which means, PS job, still a fake, isnt it.

no the picture is real the blurring is fake.

[msnger]

Photoshop can do blurs, too, you know...

so its not real, you know.

[phoilme]

Toss Up only because you ask. If you didin't say anything It would be real.

[Wylie coyote]

not gunna lie. doesnt matter if its fake, its still an awesome picture.

[MkH]

Not a fake, just a digitally enchanced picture. Post processing a picture and creating a picture are two completely different things. Sometimes post-processing is done to give the picture a more realistic look, because the camera meters wrong lighting values, and sometimes it's done to give the picture a more dramatic look, like in this specific photograph. Either way, the picture itself is very real.

x2...............

[G_Man]

it's real for sure
all you haters

[GrinchWSLG]

That blur isn't difficult to achieve with any worthwhile camera. A wide open aperture will produce this effect.

Every digital image that gets printed goes through photoshop, mostly for color correction though. I highly doubt the blur is fake.

[Sten3]

i think it´s faked (or hardly photoshoped) cause th A10 much clearer then the rest of the pic (and i dont mean the guys infront...)

I think this is related to that picture.

[Jan]

what is the diferens?

[Chulo]

i have seen this in the news wires some time ago... i would say real.. then again.. it it were AP.. who knows..

maybe AP should be renamed into APs <half Assed Photo shops>

[JTAR7242]

so its not real, you know.

No, if the image had been altered to show something that did not happen, that would be fake.

This image may have been enhanced or altered slightly, but that doesn't make it fake.

[astro]

its not fake, i got that and many other pictures from the guy who took it back in 2003 with 3ID during the push to baghdad

Did anyone actually note what this guy said?


Numbnuts.
