Mates that always doubt... YOU haven´t played with Photoshop, or ever applied in your lifetime something called Ockam´s Razor: the simplest
explanation is the most logical one, after every know explanation could be used.
Let´s say you have to vapourize some info over a photo, or edit some very big imagery. So, let´s Photoshop the image: basic copy&paste, heal, burn,
change levels, liquify. Yeah... on each and every image. 1000s of them. Let´s go, we got a schedule! Let´s say we denied something for over 30
years, it´s plenty of time to change it all!
Well... Photoshop wasn´t THAT good up until 10 years or so, but hey, whathever... Computer were slow and you can just put it on a super-computer of
30 years ago because, well, there wasn´t PS around...
Let´s say everything is easier now. But you have what "Sayid" said on Lost: basic aiming - pointing and shooting -. You HAVE to do them all by
knowing where all are. Now let´s think about that, how many people editing pics would be needed... They ALL had to keep secrecy!
Do you know why every other Playboy and porn magazines covers are all over the internet with the real ass of that beautiful woman? Showing some
cellullite or her true boobs before editing was done? Because IMAGE EDITORS get PISSED OFF after doing that much over and over again, and no one
remembering that that woman right there has some flaws on their body, and because she called him twice on the early morning (let´s say 2:30 and 4
o´clock) asking how big her ass was, because "you know who I am, honey!".
The problem with protecting original imagery lies always on how many people have seen it before it was actually redone. And why would someone waste an
entire department being watched 24/7 if they could just do the stuff internally, then say that someone like those here discovers it, so what? They are
all "conspiracy thinkers". They are harmless.
And we are. That´s it. We don´t own the news, don´t go over television with the same recurrent and high-budget news/documentaries/advertising,
don´t have the "ship launching probe to whatever" to show... Don´t have anything. Just our brains and some poor folks that, like us, don´t think
everything they say on tv, newspapers and movies are true.
They count on us. So we better just exist to show them that yeah, they should be more careful. If it wasn´t for guys like us, they would make such a
poor job that, then, it would be a massive amount of s*** thrown on the fan when that "same picture like all" on the newspaper cover would show
*whoops* a pyramid and the common regular opinion thinks "What the hell is that?", and thousands of calls congestionated the us and every country´s
phone lines asking for an explanation.
Just a thought.
