Apparently it has something to do with her left hand alignment and that she’s not wearing any rings. But the odd thing was how Louis is crossing his fingers, middle on top of ring finger.
The difference between the two articles is hilarious.
The BBC says there are some discrepancies in the image
That “Cirrkus” tabloid shitrag says it’s obvious she’s been abducted by aliens and frequently spontaneously combusts or some shite, didn’t read past the first couple of lines
Dont forget the last paragraph:
One more note about the shot … Kate is seated, as 10-year-old Prince George stands behind his mother. So, for those of you who have BBL on your “What’s up with Kate” bingo cards … we can’t rule it out. Just sayin’ …
All you need to know.
All you need to know
Well, no, I had to Google BBL and now that’s in my search history 😂
BBL? Do I even want to know?
I really don’t see what the big deal is.
You can comment this on almost every bit of Royal news
Integrity. The editing of the photo introduces elements of doubt as to its authenticity. Editing an image to this degree, bad at that, is a great big “nope” for the agencies.
I must admit at first glance the mistakes aren’t that obvious but when they are pointed out it’s very bizarre.
I think especially as well due to it trying to reassure everyone that she was healthy post-surgery
Imagine you hire a dog sitter and when you ask for a photo of your dog they send you a deepfake of a poodle.
Ok, but what’s that got to do with some rich lady touching up her family photos?
This was them experimenting with using AI image generation for publicity purposes IMO. The photo they published must have been the “best” result with fewest giveaways (although obviously some remained).
Other celebrities do this all the time and typically get away with it. Before nitter went down I had the misfortune of looking at 50 cent’s xitter page and it was entirely AI generated images of him in suits with a fancy restaurant backdrop. No one was calling him (his publicist) out in the replies.
They’ve pulled out the metadata and it seems I was wrong about assuming it was AI - news.sky.com/…/princess-of-wales-what-led-to-pala…
Sounds like it is just a bad photoshop.
Most of the hands look wonky.
Pulling a random guess out my rear.
I’m betting they had rings etc. And someone in their staff decided photoshop. To avoid media folks attacking over cost of living stuff.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The image was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s social media accounts with a message from Catherine which said: "Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.
But, late on Sunday, the Associated Press, one of many international agencies that distributed the photo, issued a “kill notification” - an industry term used to make a retraction.
PA Media, the UK’s biggest news agency - through which the Royal Family regularly releases its official information, including to the BBC - said it had not killed the picture on its service.
Most news organisations follow their own strict guidelines on the use of manipulated photographs, only using them when accompanied by an explanation that the image has been changed from the original.
It was thought on Sunday morning the photo would quell some of the more extreme theories around the princess’s absence from the public stage.
But within hours social media was abuzz with zoomed-in images of Princess Charlotte’s left cuff and Prince Louis’ fingers.
The original article contains 658 words, the summary contains 171 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
