November 1997: After 58 tourists were killed in a terrorist attack at the temple of Hatshepsut in Luxor Egypt, the Swiss tabloid Blick digitally altered a puddle of water to appear as blood flowing from the temple. On the surface it does not seem like a big manipulation, the color is changed across the whole image, just a simple color cast change. How do you feel about this kind of image manipulation?
that they are stupid and doesn't respect who died there
ReplyDeletevery deceptive but manipulation wise its not that impressive
ReplyDeleteI would expect this kind of thing from a tabloid
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome. Nothing wrong with improving an image to stress a certain point. However, if they said it was blood in the caption, then screw them. That's wrong.
ReplyDeleteSo much evil going on :(
ReplyDeleteinteresting, but this time the image is quite small so i can't really tell on all the details
ReplyDeleteLol, turn any rainy day into a crime scene
ReplyDeleteI know they have a pretty liberal free press in Swizerland, but do the Swiss have laws regarding this sort of thing (i.e depictions of violence)? The newspaper might have had to tone down the "bloodiness" factor just a little in order to run with the photo.
