Here is a photo posted many places throughout the internet and in some magazines. Is this photo a actual photograph of the Titanic?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Titanic-2_April_1912.gif or this sight http://www.archives.gov/publications/the_record/march_1998/titanic.html |

That looks like Titanic to me, with the enclosed forward part of the A-Deck promenade.
I believe that's Titanic undergoing trials. |

The ship is the Titanic however the photo has been retouched and altered. Notice the usual smoke at #A & #B? Look #c at the brush strokes done by some PhotoShop or Paint program with some type of cloning tool. I enlarged the picture so you may see it isn't a real photo. The actual picture is located at http://www.budman.u-net.com/sgsweb/titanic.htm You might notice the unrealistic cable diameter between the ship and tugboat? It's fake also. There are many photos that are altered or retouched of the Titanic. That photo even fooled Wikipedia Encyclopedia. Things aren't always as they appear. Below is a enlargement of that photo. |

But it is the Titanic. That's what the question was.
I've seen other pictures where Titanic's name had obviously been added to the pic. There was quite a bit of photo doctoring takin' place even during Titanic's time, for newspapers, etc... |

I never asked "if"it was, I only asked for comments of the photo. If one was to purchase that photo as a real photo of value you would have be the owner of worthless paper. This one fooled many experts. |

Ah, but you asked if it was an actual photo of Titanic, which it most certainly is, doctored or not.
I did think the blotchiness was curious, perhaps a damaged photo or negative, but didn't think that's what the thread was 'bout. The bow wave really doesn't look right, though. |

It is not a actual photograph. This event never actually occurred as it depicts. A Titanic historian would reconized the forged from actual printed publications. Only a novice would argue it's validity. That blotchiness are pixels moved by a special graphics program. If you used Corel Paint or Adobe Photoshop you would know how that is done. Anytime a photo is altered, doctored, retouched or made to represent something other than the actual photo then it's a fake, phoney and worthless. Since that scene never existed that photo is a fake. Sorry but your most certainly wrong, again |
