Gentlefolk,

It does call into question "seeing is believing", doesn’t it? Even when you are aware that the photograph is a fake – a product of digital manipulation – the results are so good that the picture is still shocking. I too felt the impact when I first looked, and was only slowly reassured by reading the text and referring back to the picture to see the omission of this or that.
With inexpensive tools that are available, I wonder what impact this brave new world will have on "photographic evidence" in a court. Nothing as lurid as larval infested breasts, but that isn’t where the big money is – and big money can buy the best creative talent.
