You find mixed raced people disturbing?

no the fact that they need to photo shop it over the top of a picture of last years event.

why do they feel the need to do this? Do you think its wrong?

There is probably the head of a white man in the picnic basket.

..and it's probably because there are no poster-good-looking people in your area?? :confused:

Thats a really tiny photo, but if I'm not mistaken its a white woman with a black husband, with a chinese and indian kid.

The wife has some explaining to do imho.

it has been blown up obviously.

Lol Lab rat? More like hood rat with threads like this.

LabR@t · 10 Jun 2010 at 17:30

ok I should have worded it differently but why photo-shop for political correctness ?

Andelusion · 10 Jun 2010 at 17:33

Can you post a smaller picture please?

Well yes, thank you, I had make that assumption in my own head. I didnt think they were actually using postage stamp sized pictures as their advertising campaign.

Perhaps you might link a bigger copy?

Well seems that picture is a Stock Photo : http://www.bigstockphoto.com/image-1314867/stock-photo-a-peek-in-the-picnic-basket And that this picture was uploaded in 2007. I have come to the conclusion that the OP has been sniffing glue.

yes but is it wrong to photo-shop in images that are not there to show some kind of diversity?

Now, I'm not a racist BUT ...

Fixed it for you. So stereotypical, it's painful.

This is better, though unrelated.

Your racism is so explicit that it leaves no room for assumptions to be made. To answer your original question (which took a while for me to understand due to your garbled English), sure, why is it not right? Tell us why you believe it is or is not right.

I think you've confused him/her by using capital letters, punctuation and sentence structure.

We got asked this is school for OCR, while we were researching "photoshop for marketing" no-one knew it had changed

RopAyy · 10 Jun 2010 at 22:45

Can we see the photo-shopped example then?
I cant judge it its wrong or right without seeing the state of the rest of the village!

badcompany · 10 Jun 2010 at 23:01

personally I think its wrong to doctor images of events, its like changing history isn't it? Would you suggest adding some people into pictures of other events famous or not?

How about some extras in charles and diana's wedding day? Or maybe removing some scruffy looking people from the pictures of the queens jubilee ?
