(61,033 posts)You're right. Those shots are Photoshopped. I work with the program everyday. The close-up of his nose is pretty obviously tampered with. You just use the clone stamp tool to sample an area that's colored diffferently (in this case they sampled a lighter colored area from his face) and just clicked repeatedly on his nose and added the lighter colored pixels to make it look like his nose is swollen. You can see how phony it looks better in the top shot that's more of a close-up of his nose. it's not a particularly good fake either. Whoever did it "repeatedly" sample the lighter area and "repeatedly" added the pixels to zimmerman's nose. Maybe they were thinking how zimmerman claimed to have had his head "repeatedly" bashed against concrete and thought they'd do something in concert with those dubious assertions. It's not fooling anyone here though. DUers are pretty wise to this kind of crap, judging from the other comments I'm reading as most know that if your head is "repeatedly" bashed against concrete you're going to at least be severely concussed, if not knocked cold or killed.
