Photoshop is an amazing tool and we use it here at the studio all the time to clean up photographs that might have been a little less than perfect. But what is with the wave of poorly doctored photos by less than skilled professionals. It is one thing to blend a blemish on a model or fix a shadow or two, when serving our clients needs, but it is yet another to poorly doctor photos of actual or fictional events to corroborate news stories disseminated to the masses. At least so far these transgressions have occurred only in minor stories, the missing Clinton, then the fake Chinese road inspection and now the swearing in of a new Governor in Syria. But that does raise an important question. Is the reason we have not seen doctored photos in any major news events because it is not happening or because there are highly skilled professionals at work?
