How did he then have the modified photo submitted (as if from Haiti), vetted and published on the Der Spiegel web site?TFred wrote:I think Ed did it. It sure looks professional though. Good work Ed! :lol:richarcm wrote:Why would a German news magazine want to do that?photoshop

it was sent to me from another VCDL member that happened to notice it, so I shared it here.how did you find it Ed?
It's a great find if it's real Ed. The EXIF's been wiped so it's impossible to tell.TFred wrote:it was sent to me from another VCDL member that happened to notice it, so I shared it here.how did you find it Ed?
I did not find it.. It was send to someone that forwarded it to me. The originator is in the army and noticed it and was floored so he forwarded it on.ed wrote:It's a great find if it's real Ed.

Even if there is EXIF data it can still appear be made to appear legit.peter_nap said:It's a great find if it's real Ed. The EXIF's been wiped so it's impossible to tell.
True, it's just a matter of changing the information...but without the EXIF, I can't peel layers that have been flattened.peter_nap wrote:Even if there is EXIF data it can still appear be made to appear legit.It's a great find if it's real Ed. The EXIF's been wiped so it's impossible to tell.
Is it actually a VCDL logo, or just a logo that also uses the Minuteman image? I can't see the details. That image has been used in a lot of places.
Aviation air crews can pretty much add hoc any patch to the uniform, weather officially, or un-officially. The most that usually happens is a superior tells you to remove it. Most un-official patches are only on the flight helmet or other flight gear, not too often to see them on the actual uniform.So who are the guys in the photo? The caption on the source web page says they are loading a patient for transfer to the USNS Comfort, so they must be US Military, right? Who would even be allowed to add an unofficial patch to a uniform like that?

I can't tell you how many pictures people send me of animals that look good but are faked though.TFred wrote:Aviation air crews can pretty much add hoc any patch to the uniform, weather officially, or un-officially.
