Robyn writes, "I have a fake ghost photo for you, I made it with Corel Photopaint, I hope you like it. The 'ghost' photo was taken last year (2008) at a friend's wedding in Cambridgeshire, England. I'm the lady in the astonishing pink hat, the other woman is my sister. The 'ghost' seen at the right of the photo, creeping around my shoulder....is also me! (albeit with a very different hairstyle - but believe me, they're both me!) I used my webcam to take a snarling photo of myself. Then I cut out my head and my arm, shrunk them down, rotated them, positioned them on the wedding photo, and used a number of effects to make them look more 'ghostly' (made them transparent, sponged out all the colour, blurred the edges a bit). I also blanked out my eyes to make it more creepy. All in all, it looks totally fake to people who are used to looking at this stuff, but some people are trying to pass off forgeries like this as real photos. So I'm sending this to you so that if you put it up, people can see it and hopefully recognize other fakes for what they are. All the best, Robyn Goddard Manchester (England)
