10 clues that gave away Kate Middleton’s family photo editing fails

nypost.com:

Princess of Wales issued an apology for any “confusion” sparked by the image, saying: “I do occasionally experiment with editing.”Prior to Kate’s confession, online sleuths raised questions about several odd aspects of the photo that showed the smiling British royal surrounded by her children — Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.The world’s leading news agencies reacted to the controversy by swiftly yanking the image over doctoring fears.

One major tell-tale sign of manipulation was that a portion of Charlotte’s wrist seems to be missing from under the chopped-off sleeve of her cardigan.“It looks like a bad Photoshop job,” Dr Hany Farid, a professor of computer sciences at the University of California Berkeley, told The Telegraph.Charlotte’s checkered skirt likewise does not line up, with the right edge sticking out at a strange right angle and overlapping with George’s hands.Additionally, a green line seen on Charlotte’s left leg clad in tights appears to suggest it has been airbrushed.Another unusual detail that raised questions about the image’s veracity is Prince Louis’s crossed fingers on his right hand — and a seemingly fuzzy and broken pattern on the right sleeve of his gray sweater.It has also been noted that the table next to which the youngster is standing appears to have a distorted edge.The Palace should release the unedited photo of Kate & the kids asap.

If it’s just a small bit of harmless retouching gone wrong, nobody will care. If they don’t release the original pic, the conspiracy theories they were trying to kill, will get way worse..Others raised an alarm about the fact that Kate, who has been married to Prince William for nearly 13 years, is not wearing her Welsh gold.
