Iran State Media Used Photoshop to Make Missile Tests Look More Impressive
Gizmodo readers aren’t the only people who love digitally altering photos using Photoshop — so does Iranian state media! You may have seen the above photo yesterday, which features four scary missiles being fired off as a test/example of the size of Iran’s dick. Guess what? One of those missiles is a fake. Here’s what the original photo looks like:
Nice work with the Photoshopping, Iran. You guys should enter one of our contests sometime. [NY Times]

Even as a know nothing,m once told there was a fake I could pick that one.. the exhaust trail was all splodgy as though they’d just used the spraycan tool.
Heheh yeah – you can also see that the right hand side of the right-most cloud of dust has been copied & pasted to the fake missile’s cloud of dust.
The part that is clearly a fake for me is the shape of the right most part of ground smoke on the two missiles on the right.
Google list this story under More Top Stores, wrong it should be listed under Entertainment.
They’ve also lengthened the trails of the other three rockets. Maybe it’s a composite of more than one photo?
What make you think it was the Iranians PhotoShop hack job? Doesn’t the Bush government have a well established practice of over inflating threats from abroad in order to scare the crap out of the electorate, and Congress, and say…maybe.. take liberties like illegally invading a foreign country?
It’s really funny! But hey, they did show them on video, live!
So, why do you guys think they need to do that?
