To: a fool in paradise
I work as a graphic designer and have been in the industry since 1990. I don't do a lot of reconstructive work, however, and I couldn't figure out how that "halo" ended up around all the lettering in that BC.

The other day, someone sent me a scan of a signature that they needed on a transparent background so they could place it on a document with a different colored background. First, I went into Photoshop and adjusted the contrast so that the off-white color of the original scan's background was pure white and the lettering as black as I could make it and still look "real." Then I just used the background eraser and removed all the white background from around the letters. Then I placed the signature on a black background to make sure I got all the white specs and voila! white halo around all the lettering. I readjusted the contrast so the halo wasn't glaringly obvious and hey, as they say... Good Enough for Government Work. It took all of 5 minutes. If I had wanted to work on it for another hour, I would have adjusted the tolerance on the Eraser tool and pulled that halo away even more. But I figured... if it's good enough for the President, it's good enough for this guy.

The press insists that there is no trick photography at play.

Except they completely ignore that we have ALREADY SEEN SUCH EFFORTS when the Democrats cooked up phony “National Guard memos” with a photocopied signature photoshopped onto a bogus Word typed document and then faxed to AP and CBS.

We are onto their tricks. Until they fess up on the wrongs we already know they have done, we cannot trust them. The are a criminal organization (the media colludes with the DNC to concoct daily talking points like 2006’s “culture of corruption” meme about 2 homosexual Republicans).
