F/stop is for Fake
iPM listener Rae Bentley Jones emailed after spotting the above photos in the Daily Mail. He's also seen an example of a shot of the Queen being "flipped" so that readers see her in mirror image.
"It seems completely wrong to me that the editor or whoever can just alter how a person looks and in fact misrepresent them."
The Pentagon likewise found itself in hot water with after adding a flag to the background of a general's portrait. AP took Rae's view of photoshopping and when the alteration was discovered.
It's not all bad though....
Chris Newberry uploaded this image to our ages ago.
"The guy on the right is the 'I' that I see in my mind's eye. The guy on the left is the 'I' that I eye in the mirror. I feel 19 (circa 1971, hence the rather large shirt collar), but my body feels its age, 55 (circa 2006, hence the rather larger girth)."
Drop us a line if you've airbrushed someone out of your family album, photoshopped your holiday snaps or been humiliated by a doctored shot.
Or, better still, send us a faker photo.
