Please verify this pic - Is it real or photoshopped?

http://psxextreme.com/screenshots/misc/pict0003.jpg

There has been a lot of debate on another forum as to whether or not the guy in this picture has been photoshopped in or not. I thought I would share it with you guys, the experts, and see what the verdict is.

After running it through a few filters and brightness/contrast changes, there seems to be a suspicious halo around him. I'm not sure if that's the result of pic tampering or a natural occurence.

So if you guys wouldn't mind analyzing this pic for us, it would help settle a lot of arguements

Thanks in advance!

Here are a few pics and comments from other people that have analyzed it:



"guy has a strange outline around him, if you zoom in close enough. girl doesnt"

"You can clearly see the wrong lighting around his head and the white at the edge of the shirt should be red like the girls."

i say it's fake simply b/c of the angling of the shoulder...it just seems like an awkward sort of position her arm would have to be considering how her shoulder looks... but i could be wrong.

thats a horrible fake.

Looks fake to me. The 2 people don't look like they have been hanging out together. He's all stiff while this little hottie is all over him.

fake

- horrible selections
- where his hand meets her dress is F*cked up...not to mention other places
- he has no left shoulder (thats kinda the giveaway)
- her eyes dont match the camera flash (which is visible in his glasses)

His right cheek looks like horrible masking.

lol....why is this guy in a two piece pajama and she.....isn't? And it's an obvious fake. Just look at the lighting on their faces and the image quality difference. Also, what is this girl's right hand hanging on? Plus, look at the line where they meet. It has been darkened to make the transition easier to retouch.

Obvious fake... The gals arms aren't even touching him in the actual pic. Her shoulders have been retouched and extended to his back. He's fake. His hair doesn't have any lighting from the lights to this right.

yeah, its a fake, if nothing else the awful aliasing around his hair gives it away, along with the lighting being "off".
