'shopped!

A very odd one this - as one of our officers not only has very poor photoshop skills, but they also haven't learnt the lessons of James Purnell.

I received a press release this week from our Council. It had this photo:


With the attached caption:

Photo Caption: Celebrating the launch of The Mayor’s Scholarship Fund are (left to right) Dennis Dunn, Dean of MMU Cheshire, Councillor Brian Silvester and Rob Allen, Director of Partnerships at Wulvern Housing.

Fine so far...or is it? The thing is, the photo doesn't really stand up to scrutiny.

Taking a look closer (click if you want to see it larger):



It's clear that the board that they are holding has been painted blue in photoshop (badly, they've missed bits and didn't blend around the fingers) and then they've typed some dead straight text onto a not so straight board.

The interesting questions is what did the board say before?
