It’s pretty obvious that any Photoshopping being done here is to take Obama OUT of the picture. His blue pant leg is still clearly visible between his grandparents. It drops below the level of the bench. Likewise, note the semi-circular marking on the left side of the tree at the 2:00 position on Madelyn’s head. That’s where Obama’s head was excised out of the original photo.
It’s disturbing to me that Cashill buys into this bogus Photoshop claim. It makes me wonder where else he has been fast and loose with the facts.
Look at the bush / small tree on the right hand side of the second photo. Look at where the wall meets the brush - four identical patterns right next to each other. Photoshopped.
Yes it is very unfortunate. It makes it easy for the left to dismiss ALL of the questions when we seize upon something that appears to be a fake. :-(
The **POINT** of photoshopping granny and grandpop together is to show the how natural this would have been in the original photo
The **POINT** of the granny and grandpop photo is to show that the one with Obama in it is **SELF-EVIDENTLY** UNNATURAL.
Now, if you fail to get this after it has been explained then I will get out the troll spray.
Wrong.
The “knee” is completely different in the two photos - shading, color weight, and indentation on the man’s leg. Likewise, there is no “semicircular marking” on the tree, other than a barely discernable jog in the tree trunk which is roughly 1/10th the size of Obama’s head.
For Grampa’s hand to be on Obama’s shoulder, his forearm would have to be well over twice as long as his upper arm to place his hand in the position in the photo.
Look at the shading - both grandparents have sunlight/shadow on their shoulders, torso front, and knees, indicating a source of illumination (the sun) was almost directly overhead. Obama shows no such illumination (even though his knees are in the same position), save for a slight reflection on his right shoulder and forearm... indicating that the source of the illumination in his photoshopped image was low and to his right.
Your wrong. As circlecity pointed out Gramps shoulder, upper arm, and hand are not in the correct position. That is obviously a doctored photo.
I also find it most disturbing. This sequence might answer some questions, THE IMAGES GO BACK TO 2009!

I sent Cashill an e-mail yesterday.
Is Barack Obama actually not in this photo of Barack Obama?

You’re right. Look at the tiling of the wall on the right side of the Obama-less pic, as well as the warped and aliased bench.
