Photo agencies yank photoshopped picture of Princess Kate and family

As other’s said, that’s real. Young kids have much more flexible fingers, and some people even more so due to genetics. And kids are weird and doing weird things all of the time.


I think I know what happened. I don’t think any of it is AI. I think they took a dozen photos, and then used them to composite the best looking picture. Because getting 3 kids to look right in a photo, all at once, is a daunting task, and our Instagram addled brains needs these things to look perfect.

Only either the person doing it was just ok at Phototshop.

OR

I have seen an ad for one of the new phones (not sure if it is Samsung or iPhone) where the mom takes a several pictures of the family on vacation, and then uses an app to pick the best photos of each person and it melds it together. And I am sure that isn’t prefect and you get things like some blurry spots on the edge or things not lining up just right.

Some of the criticism I’ve seen is just silly - like a kid crossing his fingers. Kids do that. Or the windows looking weird. They just over painted the pane frames and haven’t scraped off the excess with a razor blade.

I dunno. I am kinda icked out by all of this. At first glance it looks fine to me. I am not sure who the people are who start staring around looking for things that are off. Is it because they are Royalty they expect things to be perfect? The conspiracy she’s not OK after the surgery? Well if that is the case, leave them the fuck alone. If she isn’t ok and they put this out, it just shows the unreasonable pressure to be thrust upon the spotlight when they should be resting in private.

If she is ok and they just put out a meh photo - uh - so what? Christ, you’re going to give people complexes.
