The clone tool would not work very well and whiting it out with the brush would just be tedious and would be way to obvious.
If this doc was falsified i would have to say it was done at the agency that supplied it.
You're overlooking the most important point!
We know that the document was edited in photoshop. That is a fact.
What you're overlooking is that whoever did this job had to deal with the three steps:
1. scanning the original certificate into the computer,
2. editing the image in photoshop, and
3. saving the image and uploading to the internet.
Now here is the PROBLEM!
If the image was scanned with a different dpi and bit depth than how it was saved, the digital artifacts would appear.
Anything you or I attempt to do in terms of editing the jpg now isn't the same as the process that the Obama camp used.
