->> The same blog is now claiming another "faked" photo-
http://www.americablog.com/2010/07/bp-fakes-another-oil-spill-photo-this.ht...
If you look at it, and then go back to the original linked photo, I start to wonder if it is just a crappy job of lassoing the selected areas (and forgetting to apply a feather to the selection), then using levels or curves to make adjustments.
This is what the big group photo looks like, not sure on the first one, and as Michael pointed out..... Excel for video monitoring? Pretty sloppy work no matter what. |

| ->> I agree, the second example looks like a bad lasso/burn job ... trying to get detail in that big screen. but the first one is pretty clearly some sort of cut and past to fill blanks ... or cover-up the solitaire games on those screens :-) |

Hope that photographer isn't paid much.... |

| ->> This is purely conjecture, but perhaps whomever it was who was assigned to this task deliberately didn't use their full set of retouching skills precisely so that imaging experts would be able to determine that the images were manipulated. |

I could see that being the case. But if I were in this photographer's position, I would have done the outing myself, rather than wait for others to catch on.
IMO, if you're going to blow a whistle, make sure people can hear you. |

->> These are not images BP is using for their annual report or ads. These are images they are portraying to the public as real photos detailing their response to the situation in the Gulf.

There are quite a few others posted on the site that look a little shady as well. |
