Fun With Photoshop: the Iranian Missiles

The Iranians released an obviously altered photograph of their much criticized missile launch this week. They apparently copied one of the missles and then pasted it into the picture to make their three missiles look like four missiles. I have posted their fake photo here (1) with the obvious copied parts outlined in red.















The second photo is the first one re-Photoshopped by myself. It took me five minutes to disguise the copied smoke plume, but apparently the Iranians aren't smart enough to do that themselves. Had they done so, their fake photograph might have escaped detection. See Photo 2.


















The third photo shows the actual launch as it happened. The Iranian missiles are flying off course because of their seriously deficient guidance systems! Well actually, this one is another Stogie photoshop. But don't tell the Iranians.

Feel free to reprint these photos if you wish.
