this New York Times photograph of a crowd of Lebanese refugees:
This is probably nothing.
If it’s photo manipulation, it’s certainly an incredibly mundane example, and I can’t think of a reason why anyone would do it.
I’m tossing this to the lizardoid community for comment from the other photoshop geeks out there, without rendering any judgment yet.
In other words, I am not saying this is a definite fake; I know we’ve got quite a few experts at digital manipulation among our readers, and I’m sincerely asking for their opinions.
But look at the image of the man in the lower right corner; the more I examine it, the more it resembles a man’s head crudely pasted onto the body of a woman. Note the scarf under his chin, the outlines of something else at the right of his head, and more artifacts at the top and left of his head.
And note the rest of the clothing, which resembles the other women’s clothing much more than the men’s. The lighting of his face seems off, as well.

Yes, I agree. This looks fake. The stuff on the right of his head (the viewer's right) looks like it was background retained from the photo from which the head was clipped.
Something doesn't look right with that version. The guy in the back, his eyebrows are too close together. I'll study it a bit more. :-)
No kidding.
At least it isn't the Burger King plastic guy.
The photoshop was to cover up a woman who didn't have her head properly covered.
A similar thing was done in the U.S. by CAIR, and nobody really cried foul. Here's the before and after:
Message says "eat mor chikin".
Would you like the roast duck with the mango salsa?
It probably says 'Vote for Cynthia McKinney. She hates jews too.'
Burqa lady? I thought it was Uncle Fester!
The tourist guy returns!!!!
I haven't seen him in years.
With us watching the NY Slimes' fake photoshopping after the event, and pre-stageing photo ops, and more...they continue to be stupid by doing more photoshopping.
They hate Bush and us so much that they are "stuck on stupid."
They should just put a burka on all women.
Apologizes to Godzilla.
The disturbing make believe photos from this disturbing make believe event are shown below. Don’t allow children under the age of 30 to view this horror caused by Israel. Of course, this is Bush's fault.

Are pointing out the "Huge Tracts of Land" pose or the nose miner in the foreground?
Thought I'd seen that ol'gal ~ and there she is.
