File talk:The Falling Man.jpg

aahhm, I do photoshop work quite regularly, if I did a cut and paste that badly I'd lose my job. Download the image to your desktop and zoom in on the guy, you can see a whitish blurred outline, a not to good attempt to 'feather' him into the scene. I'd welcome an alternative explanation for the white blur, it's not motion blur.
 * You can actually tell the falling man's been copied just looking at the picture regularly. If that picture was legit, wouldn't the building be blurry from the camera moving, trying to get a clear shot? Know what I mean? -- Tuspm  Talk 15:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I just zoomed in using Opera, and, boy, what a crappy job of photoshopping. Especially inappropriate given nature of 9/11. Enough *real* photos exist that fake ones don't need to be created. Over 'n out.

Agent Orange.


 * It's a 35k image, it's no doubt a multi-generation copy. Looks to me like it's been unsharp masked and JPEGged to hell, but I'm not quite sure what your point is. There are plenty of other, better, copies out there.


 * It's a real image, not a hoax. The "feathering" you describe in the image are just JPEG artifacts, which are there because the image is low resolution, and are not caused by Photoshopping or doctoring. There have been television documentaries on this photo which have also said that this photo was actually one of a sequence. Unfortunately, we cannot use a high resolution, high quality image for copyright reasons. We don't push our luck when it comes to uploading fair use images. As was said above, you can probably get far better quality versions of this image if, for example, you're prepared to pay a subscription to http://www.apimages.com. Moreover, as SFC9394 said in the article talk page, you're more than welcome to contact the photographer, Richard Drew, and discuss your theory with him. Andrew 10:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Personally I think it's disgusting to even suggest this image is faked. Martin Leng 14:28, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * it's disgusting but it's unfortunately regular sick practice by nazi supporters. for example. Amoruso 05:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Why would anyone photoshop this image when there is video footage of it, not to mention many still images of other jumpers?
