Bismiris 320 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I remember hearing this was photoshopped, and the same person did some other photos like it. Am I crazy, or does an original exost of this? Quote Link to comment
TVGuy 10,657 Posted December 2, 2021 🌟 OmoOrg VIP Share Posted December 2, 2021 If this is photoshopped, the artist who did it did a remarkable job. Any of the usual signs of a photoshop fake aren't present. The stream refraction, motion blur, and lighting direction is all accurate to the rest of the photo. The wet sand on the ground follows the ground curves accurately, doesn't have a consistent radius on the edges, and the amount of darkness isn't completely uniform. There is some noise in the image that matches what you would expect from a Bayer pattern censor, and that noise remains consistent across the wet sand and stream areas, without any shift in brightness, pattern alignment, or scale. The subpixel blending around the edges of the pee elements and other contrast edges in the image is also accurate and consistent. It still could have been faked. But, if so, it was very well done, with careful attention paid to any of the signs that would immediately identify it as a fake. Most photoshop artists trying to fake a pee photo wouldn't spend so much attention to things like sub-pixel blending and types of image grain, as someone is only going to notice this if they are specifically looking for signs that the image was manipulated.
