The Clinton Rezko Photo is a FAKE!!!!!!!
I'll explain the best I can in layman terms. When you layer something onto a photo, you have basically one option to remove the excess of the top layer. If you lay something onto a photo, to avoid having it conspicious, you need to 'erase' the excess. In the Rezko/Clinton photo, the person who did it, did not do a very good job of erasing escess. I looked for the cleanest example of the photo I could find on the internet, because some of the copies are very dirty, pixel wise.
Exhibit 1.
Here is the full photo I used, untouched by me;

Ehxibit 2.
If I take that same photo into PSP, and lighten it, color and gamma, so as to enhance the background, you see this;

Exhibit 3.
Blowing it up and examining the background, we see this;

Exhibit 4.
Now, if you look at the shoulder area of BC, you will see that the curtain has been laid on TOP of his shoulder;

And the same area, even larger;

So, in my opinion, and I do graphics all day, every day, it's been doctored. I think what they did was, took the entire top part of the photo, imposed Rezko's head onto that part, merged it, in a single image, then tried to match it up on the original photo. The reason they would do this is, because once those layers are merged,(say the head area)it becomes harder to see where said piece was joined. But, in this case, they didn't bother to clean up the rough edges around the part of the top half, they laid on top of the original. They would know peope would be looking at the face/head areas, so they went wider/deeper.
You can also see the hard-line of color on Rezko's collar;

There's absolutely no reason for there to be a color change on a hard line, under Rezko's chin. Not even a shadow falls in a dead straight line.
Nope, someone doctored it. Now if I could just find the original Rezko photo.....

9. Can you send it to Olbermann?
Although he seems to adore Obama so he might not care.

17. I could....
and after spending an hour studying this photo, I have no doubt it was faked. None. I know there are a lot of sites looking for the source of the photo. If you search Google for "clinton rezko photo fake' a lot of people are asking about it.

68. Actually it only took me about 10 minutes...
but I wanted to make really sure before I said anything, so I looked it over many, many times.

84. As one who knows Photoshop since V 1.0, you can't be serious Updated at 10:13 PM
You can't detect a retouched photo when the web version is already at a very low resolution. Also, if you were even a half-assed junior league Photoshop pixel monkey, you'd have gotten a photo of someone in that suit and then just swapped out the head.
If you can find a Rezko head with the same stare and in another situation, that might be more credible.
Nice try...just like trying to find Obama guilty of anything in the case...

where the poster demonstrated how the towers could not have fallen with a wire cage.
**** this is stupid.

141. I have no dog in this fight, BUT...
As a Photoshop user since Version 1, I can show you a PS'd picture of your grandma doin' the 49'ers and make it convincing. Seriously...I've been working with PS since some of you were in diapers.
THIS PICTURE IS PHOTOSHOPPED.
I'm not a Clinton Supporter. I have nothing to gain by debunking this, but I'm telling you, those ard pixels on the shoulder are a dead give-away. The PSer did a piss-poor job of blending the background to match the foreground. Period.
Remember, I'm not a Hillary supporter. I'd love to say "AH-HA!" if this would prove something that would knock Hillary out of the race. But it doesn't. It's bullshit.

161. If you are so convinced in your debunking, perhaps you should contact CNN
I'm sure they'd love to hear about it. Of course, every major news organization has photo and graphics departments, and probably analyze photos for authenticity all the time.
Who remembers the rabbit cage experiment? :lmao:
