The words piss up and brewery come to mind
At this rate people will probably be saying she's a hologram, body double, or that Pippa decided to have surgery and replace her sister once she's back in action.Can it hurry up and be Easter so she can come back on the scene. We’re going to have weeks of this and we don’t need Chris Ship starting Witchelling either.
There's a difference between touch ups, like changing the contrast, masking, maybe even using the healing tool to erase some background noise, and straight up stitching together different photos and/or lying about the date of the photos. The latter is the journalistic offence that would have lead to its withdrawal.This is so weird though. We’ve established on this thread that it’s normal for them to photoshop/edit/manipulate their photos like this.
We know this, so the Associated Press must be used to it too. So why have they taken an issue with this one?
I guess the main difference to 8 years ago is that post ChatGPT and newsrooms & picture desks introducing protocols on detecting generated images, this botch job has pinged their warning systems. Morto for whoever was on PhotoShop duties at KP this weekend.This is so weird though. We’ve established on this thread that it’s normal for them to photoshop/edit/manipulate their photos like this.

‘Kill notification’ is such a dramatic title for this. I get that it’s probably standard but it still made me take pause haha.Looks like it’s becoming a bigger story. I think the TMZ picture hasn’t helped.
Chris Ship on ITV reporting AP have withdrawn the picture. What an absolute mess
Sadly knowing these two they probably got someone who does photography and retouching as a hobby to touch up the photo, much like Kate’s stylist being her PA. They don’t seem to have the best team at the moment.I wonder if William is testing his Photoshop skills and they are lacking![]()
Yes.Does she usually sign off as C ?
Do you have a source for this? Wasn't it just posted on the KP Instagram and news agencies picked it up of their own volition?The problem is it was sent directly to news agencies, so PA/Reuters/Getty had to do the kill order as it didn't meet journalistic standards.
It's fine for Insta.
PA etc wouldn't release an announcement to stop distribution of the photo if it hadn't been sent to them directly. They don't care about insta photos, they care about what they are sent for publication to be given out.Do you have a source for this?

No, it was a beautiful welcome to the family and showed how deeply Wills feels for her, I think.Really odd that she ended up with her dead mother in law's wedding ring it wasn't exactly Mummy 's lucky ring was it? She should have been allowed to chose her own engagement ring.
No. You'd notice because the lighting would be off. You can't just mix and match old and new pics. That would be glaringly obvious due to lighting.My opinion is that it’s an old pic of Kate and the shopped the kids in. Badly.
