Hey, he was just removing dust from the image. Give the guy a break. He's a photographer, not a Photoshop guru (obviously). Political agenda? How could you even begin to think any such thing?

You may want to read the articles a little closer,. the one example in the first link does not tell the whole story.
There's no way you can attribute what he did to "removing dust"

I sincerely hope you're being sarcastic...

Doctored images by PJ....

I dont know how many of you read about the Reuters freelance photographer getting his images pulled down by Reuters. Was browsing yahoo and came across this comparison of the original vs 'touched-up' images....

I think the PJ should have been fired for just the quality of the 'touchup' first :)

Not just him getting away with it - how did Reuters' editors expect to get away with this? It reflects poorly on the news industry when blatent bias shows through like this.

He should have left it alone. The original was much better! Not to mention that I would have expected a professional to have better photoshop skills than THAT!

Exactly... What puzzles me more is that the guy tought: "Hmmm, this retouched photo looks great. Doesn't look manipulated in any way. I'll submit it, nobody will tell the difference." :confused:

I think it has been cropped a bit.

Okay...

What the heck is the point of moving buildings and adding more smoke in the sky????

That guy deserves what he got.

Now that is the million dollar question...there was already plenty of smoke and copy/pasting buildings when there were plenty there seems a little odd doesn't it? Too bad, now most images coming from Lebanon are going to be dismissed because of the worst photoshopper in the world. :rolleyes:
