Is That PHOTOSHOPPED?
Like I promised in the previous entry.
Photos have a lot to do with journalism, and the future includes Photoshop.
All images are taken from "Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped"
I know that I am going out on a limb and trusting Cracked.com. I trust that these pictures truly are undoctored.
Don't click that link though.
I am going go put a photo from the site, and then a photo similar, but photoshopped. Figure out which one is photoshopped and which one is real. And how shocking it can be that both can look so alike. As a journalist, I am showing you the real photo taken from the website. I am also photoshopping a version. It's my job as a journalist to present the facts as they are, and not distort them. Can you figure out which photo is distorted?

P.S. I am actually quite proficient with Photoshop, but I did quick and simple adjustments for the sake of time saving (being a college student can be quite busy). I know that these changes are minor and usually photo-lightening, brightening photo, etc. are acceptable edits for a photo. The edits I have done are more than just brightening and lightening; the edits are things that could distort the reality and actuality of the photo.
--my next post will be an editorial done for class (I will put the link as well) regarding bloggers vs. journalists.
