[LVZ]

(1) What do these two photos have in common?

1. since Obama has no military experience, I would go with Webb of those two

[DesEtoiles]

4. Hillary used to be a General

[FrenchieCat]

5. In another life......

:rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

7. No, her husband was the general...

"General Nonsense", I presume.

;)

[IndianaGreen]

44. Hillary planned the bombing of Belgrade TV station and Serbian powerplants

She played with GI Joe when she was a kid, which makes her qualified to be Kommander-in-Chief.

[LVZ]

26. Although this thread is about images, of the two VP choices ...

I agree that Webb brings strong military connections and experience to the ticket. He is also a very effective political pit bull who would drive Republicans nuts.

OTOH, choosing Kathleen Sebelius would help ensure a strong turnout among women, many of whom have been energized by Hillary Clinton's candidacy. It would be a shame to lose that enthusiasm if Hillary should fail to get the nomination.

34. then he needs a female veteran. Maybe Jessica Lynch

[TreasonousBastard]

2. Obama's got whiter teeth (and more of them). n/t

[Bicoastal]

3. I have no clue...are you trying to imply some subterfuge took place?

Kathleen's pic looks a little odd, but not the one with Webb.

[feistydem]

6. cut & paste

[Ediacara]

8. Sebelius' face looks artificially skinny

It also seems like no one in the Senate can open their eyes all the way.

[mzmolly]

9. Not sure what is being implied here sorry? In one pic he is standing with Webb, in the other

he has been pasted side by side with a photo of Governor Sebelius.

[LVZ]

45. Nothing implied. For casual web surfing, a caveat: easy & quick political photo fakes are common.

10. The right image is two photos stuck together?

And Sibelius' photo is stretched vertically. Seems pretty obvious, but I don't really get the point of this thread

[joshcryer]

11. The person with the most outlandish tie is holding the mic?

WTF

[Texas_Kat]

12. Sebelius is photoshopped... and badly

The perspective is off, the lighting is wrong both on their faces and in the shadows....the levels and curves (a PS term) need adjusting, the background behind them is an artifical construct...

What else?

Oh yah, Webb has red hair and Sebelius doesn't.

[CalebHayes]

14. lol

[DUyellow]

15. agree

[LVZ]

16. ----> Good eye. Not "PHOTOSHOPped" but ...

Good eye. I searched Google images for an Obama / Sebelius photo and could not find one. However, in under 15 minutes using some old shareware imaging program, a fake photo could be produced.

Needless to say with more professional software and a bit more time, you can make a photo that would be difficult for most to detect.

Bottom line: you can't trust photos anymore, especially political ones.

19. Keep practicing....

one of these days you too can be flawless. But you're not there yet...and you really should invest in some real software, not 'Photoshop'...

[LVZ]

21. Well, ya see, it's not what I do - just a quick test ... n/t

[Jennifer C]

29. Why don't you like PS?

Out of curiosity.

[1corona4u]

30. Nope.

I prefer either Adobe Illustrator, or PSP. And I am a graphic designer. PSP more for the photo editing though, with a few extra plugins.

[Texas_Kat]

31. Illustrator is definitely the benchmark for print graphics

I prefer Photoshop to PSP for everything not strictly print. Corel has never been high on my preferred software list.

I am also a graphic designer.

[1corona4u]

43. I don't really like Corel either..

but I prefer PSP when working with photos, but I have a lot of plugins too......vectors, and rasters, Illustrator.

[incapsulated]

38. Photoshop isn't "real software" but PSP is?

I'm sorry but you really don't know what you are talking about.

Photoshop and Illustrator are industry standards.

PSP started out as a cheap Photoshop knock-off.

13. With Webb on the left,

while Obama is putting out a smile, his body language reveals an uncomfortable/defensive attitude (the crossed arms.)

With Sebelius on the right, Obama looks much more relaxed, of course the jacket is off AND the cuffs are rolled up comfortably. His smile seems a lot more real and less forced in this pic, he looks almost sensuous in his elation. I think Sebelius might be giving him a hand-job. :shrug:

[1corona4u]

17. There are actually 3 photos...for starters...

Sebelius and Obama aren't in the same photo...but I'm too tired to play reindeer games...

[Stand and Fight]

18. Besides the obvious mentioned above... Vice-Presidents?

Both are rumored contenders as vice-presidents in 2008.
(I consider the photo comparison/contrast exercise meaningless by the way as the second one is an obvious and horrible fake....)

[Cooley Hurd]

20. The right one is a composite...

...and a pretty poor one. These were posted on Flickr, which is a public site in which ANYONE (perhaps even YOU ;)) can put up whatever picture they want.

If you're trying to manufacture a scandal out of this, it's a lame attempt, at best.:eyes:

[LVZ]

22. What a dopey, paranoid response ... n/t

[Cooley Hurd]

23. What a dopey OP...

What exactly were you trying to prove?:shrug:

[LVZ]

24. It is rather obvious but apparently beyond your understanding ... n/t

[Cooley Hurd]

25. Obviously, you have no idea what you were trying to prove...

:eyes:

27. January 29 Photo - Obama and Sebelius

[Jennifer C]

28. That's a nice photo nt

[LVZ]

32. Another one from the same rally ...

[Debi]

33. He is not shaking Sebelius' hand which is an obvious snub? n/t

[yurbud]

35. obama and seb are photoshopped together

[Debi]

36. I know...I was making an obviously poor attempt at humor n/t

[yurbud]

37. what was the joke?

[Debi]

39. You're kidding, right?

go search 'handshake' or 'snub' along with Clinton and Obama and get back to me.

[yurbud]

41. oh that. That didn't even register enough for me to read beyond the headlines

[AlCzervik]

40. the one of Obama and Sebelius is a photshop full of suck, the background, please

whoever did that just phoned that shit in.

[RL3AO]

42. Obama's left arm getting cut off is the first sign of a fake.
