i will give it 5 years at most before folks will be able to make near undetectable forges of photos.

Too late. The future is already here.

Yeah, it just takes Photoshop

If these measurements of what HAS leaked are a concern, what of potential future risks of a greater magnitude?! Around Reactor 4 there is "unequal ground sinking of 0.8 meters" let alone how that projects over decades. Unit 4 is the one with a full core, etc in its top floor fuel pool and the same one that was photoshooped in an official release.

I wish someone had taught us Photoshop or any other useful 21th century stuff in high-school.

So do the rest of us who have to look at the awful Photoshop stuff that floats around the Internet these days.

Here's another one for Photoshop Disasters. Look at that psychedelic halo around that tree in the lower left!

Also, is it me, or is there something wrong with the general color balance of the picture?

Photography's saving grace has always been that it is fairly easy to tell the real from the fake for all but the highest quality forgeries, and then an expert can usually uncover it.

Read up on your history of photography a bit. Like the Crimean War pictures. Photographs have always been altered. And people have argued whether or not a particular photograph has been altered since the beginning of photography. Photoshop only made things easier and lowered the bar.

Way lowered it.

Here is a site with real photoshop disasters:

It's more fun than "Spot the difference".

If you think such things are 'anatomically impossible' I rather doubt you're a medical doctor.

Which pelvis type do you think this lady has?

This might come off as rather mean, and possibly trolling, but my question is this:
Is the look and feel of your website, and other material, part of a carefully crafted style, or is it more... haphazard?

I ask because your official website has a very busy and disorganized look & feel. It is reminiscent of the early days of the Internet, where amateurish self-taught web designers would throw something together rather quickly (sometimes called "geocities style", involve animated gifs, mismatching colors, etc.). Similarly the cover of your latest album ( Seeking Major Tom ) looks like a Photoshop Disaster, with the perspective of your head not matching the space suit, and various objects clumsily composited together.

Overall this looks somewhat rough and sloppy, especially considering how wealthy and well-known you are as a celebrity. Surely you must be able to achieve a higher production value if that were something important to you. Is this look and feel intentional? A way to seem less grandiose and therefore to connect with fans more closely? Or is it something else?

And for times when things have gone wrong, horribly wrong, there is always Photoshop Disasters.
