Photoshopping

The photo of the Princess of Wales with her children, posted for Mothers' Day was clearly edited and it didn't take long for news agencies to notice this. Looked at from a distance, all looks well but it is when you come closer that the many edits become obvious. 

The Princess subsequently admitted that she did tinker with the original in Photoshop. 

Photoshop is a powerful programme with many advanced features. I have used it several times to “improve” photos. However, it can also be used to deceive. 

When you look at the changes Kate made, you wonder why she did them. For example, why has Charlotte got one shoe with a heel and one without. This only arouses suspicion in some minds that Kate was deliberately trying to deceive with the edits she made. I believe it was less sinister, she was just trying to improve the photo but isn't that good at it.
