China and fake photograph

[Keith Kennedy]

An interesting article on page 1 of today's Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1203...onsub_page_one) about a Chinese photographer who blended two images but represented the final composite as 'original'. The photo showed some endangered antelopes running in a group with the new 'train to the top of the world' in the background. The image was subsequently used by the Chinese government to show how the controversial train and the antelopes could easily co-exist. Some Chinese photography bloggers recognized the poor photoshop technique and exposed the photographer as a fraud.

Obviously, the photographer did not use quick mask! So Robert, when will the Chinese version of APTATS be available? At least one photographer in China could have used it.:)
