Everthing about this guy is a lie...

Well, did you think it was authentic? Nope, and just like Obama's Certificate of Live Birth Forgery, it left a nasty Photoshop finger print.

For those you not that computer-savvy, Photoshop is image-editing software (the most popular). You can virtually superimpose one image onto another etc. Photoshop is often used to put heads on other peoples' bodies (as in the case of some Glam magazines) etc. Even an amateur with this software can make convincing, yet fake photos.

Check out the image below that Obots are trying to pass around as proof that Obama attended Punahou Private school in Hawaii.

Now, like his fake Certificate of Live Birth, this is just as bad. Look at the deep dark lines (border lines from image injection) around Obama's (or who is supposed to be Obama) Arms. It is even more noticable around his left arm (see for yourself).

All that had to be done was open the file in a text editor and sure enough, the Photoshop stamp. This image was tampered with (the original) and saved in Photoshop.

To illustrate this, here is an image snippet of the Photoshop "fingerprint" in the image.

Note: For those of you not so computer-savvy - images when opened in text editors (like Notepad) show the Hexidecimal code for the image. Computers only understand numbers, so it uses Hexidecimal to represent pairs of Binary numbers. Binary numbers are 1's and 0's. A pattern of these numbers together, represent the image to the computer, which converts it to what you see. Hexidecimal is a way of shortening up Binary sequences.

Here is the snippet with the Photoshop stamp. You can see this for yourself by saving the image to your Hard Drive and then opening in a text editor (Photoshop stamp along right side).

And also notice the letters "JFIF" in the Hex code above.It tells us that the person editing the image was using image editing codes for the resolution or aspect ratio of an image. JFIF provides resolution or aspect ratio information using an application segment extension to JPEG. JPEG does not support it otherwise.

Also, the editor specified Greyscale for the color model of the image. JPEG does not define which color encoding is to be used for images. JFIF defines the color model to be used. Photoshop supports all this extra (extended) encoding.
