A few people have started using photoshop lately. Not a bad thing, as the results can be absolutely hilarious.

However, if you try to manipulate a large audience, expect some connaisseurs to be amongst them. Especially, if you publish pictures unseen, like this one:

See that repetitive smoke pattern? Anybody who ever lit a grill, or a camp fire, knows smoke can't rise in such a pattern. Also, the analysis shows a few more disturbing things:

If one looks at the picture with the red frames, things start to stink very badly. Like the rotten, putrid corpses hidden in the allegedly IAF-caused building collapse in Qana last Sunday. And if it doesn't stink because your olfactory senses are out of commission due to a bad cold, you'll probably notice the nice pattern, and remember having seen something similar in a mosque.

Bingo, it's the same photographer that also pictured Mr "Green Helmet" holding the press prostitutebaby corpse, Adnan Hajj, whose name is a tell-tale sign of his religion and his affiliations! If this mess isn't what breaks the credibility on pro-Hezbollah reporting, then we probably need Mr Göbbels again.

If you positively need to photoshop something, have a look at this example:

If you need instructions on how to do it, you can read it up here. Maybe Mr Hajj should have done that as well, although I doubt he will be as good as the blogger on C&R.

If you need more, have a look at Hot Air.

And at least Reuters now finally admits the picture was doctored.
