Photofraud


Apparently North Korea is not so hot on the photoshop option. The North has been caught taking fraud pictures of war exercises to make the military seem more vast along with doctored photos of non-existent missiles. These recent photos have been released by a news agency in North Korea: the official Korean News Agency (KCNA). Bryan Ashcroft as well as many other online users have said to have caught on quite rapidly about the frauds. Ashcroft writes, “Can someone please help the North Korean government out? The propaganda ministers stink at Photoshop,”. Some online commentators have stated that these photos had not been altered. Although in March 2013, the KCNA released a stream of photos showing rampant hovercraft with marines hovering an unidentified shore. Experts seemed to agree that the photos looked photoshopped. Within the same timeframe, the AFP ''issued a mandatory kill on the image, saying'': “This general service picture… of March 26, 2013 is being removed due to excessive digital alteration, compromising its news content. Please remove all copies from your systems. We and thank you [sic] for your cooperation, and apologize for any inconvenience.” New York Post
