How do you explain this picture

[beavis]

photoshop separate colors into RBG and cut around the girl, take the blue component and average it with the background. Theres no distortion around her, so its fake.

[battousai the man slayer]

ya but how do u no if it is real of not

[beavis]

because there should be distortion of the spacetime if its real

[Aphex-twin]

what about just the picture of her itself

[Aphex-twin]

You can literally see right thru her

[Aphex-twin]

What do you mean by distortion of the spacetime. I should of put this all in one post

[beavis]

Spacetime distortion: When something enters spacetime, the local spacetime must move to adjust to the new input/output. I dont see any curved-spacetime-waves around her.

ROTFLMAO

Oh i know exactly what your talking about you can see those all over if you focus your mind and eyes right but would the camera pick that up, but than i guess next question would be than how would did the camera pick up her so yeh your probabley right.

looks like that would be very easy to fake. her image is too consistantly sharp. There are no parts of her that are more or less visible than others.
Its just 2 pictures taken with the same camera in the same position. one with the girl and one without, then superimposed.

This can also be done by double exposing film.  Basically you are taking two pictures on the same space on the film.  A picture like this can be produced by almost any basic non-digital camera.

Cute but it's photoshop. All they did was put the girl on another layer, adjust her to blue and take down the opasity to about 50%. It've looked cooler if they'd put a blur on her, or added an inner glow.

Also notice how the photo is zoomed right up on her? It's posed. Who'd want a photo of their fire place from a bad angel? It was obviously a deliberate photo taken of the girl.

[beavis]

Its not fake because it was deliberately taken. A ghost could agree to a picture. Its fake because its fake.

Fake.

You can blend it in with a opacity of 24%ish and other editing tools.

way too fukkin easy. Just set the girl as a new layer and set that layer's opacity low.duh.

Uh.... I just said that.

And it'll take some more work that messing with opacity.

It isn't even necessary to use Photoshop to edit something like this. My older brother's spent a fair bit of time studying photography. As he has a passion for surrealism he did a series of photos of himself as a ghost. He simply used reflections from windows or sheets of glass and a polarising filter to make himself appear to be a ghost in a room. This is an old technique.

Not very convincing.  It's just a picure... any idea what you can do with pictures now days?  Technology is pretty far right now, and with the digital cameras and computers that can munipulate those photos, it wouldn't be too difficult to do that.  Not saying it's not real, but I would bet my money it's fake if I had the chance.

i also notice somethingelse, the colors seemed to change percentage of apacity within the girl, the firplace colors changed.

[jason]

that picture is the most obvious fake I've ever seen.

it looks totally 'set up',like someone said "hey I'm going to make a ghost picture,first I'll take a perfect picture of the fireplace,then I'll take a picture of her posing in a nice position,then I'll blend them together"

[Aphex-twin]

Creepy creepy stuff if its real
