Probably, but it's amusing/annoying that there was basically NO Photoshopping. This has happened before. I few years ago, this shot took first place at the Photoshopping site Worth1000.com... only I didn't enter it, and it was a Basic Editing photo. Some character actually "reverse-Photoshopped" it into separate images and claimed my shot was a composite of those. I had it removed within an hour. Somehow I doubt the website in Argentina will even acknowledge my copyright infringement note. :-/

Unfortunately, some people seem to use DPC as a source of free stock photos.... :-/ (One disadvantage of high placement on the google images index)

Even worse, it was picked up as an example of bad Photoshopping and there wasn't any! Grrr....

I think what the 'bad photoshoppers' are saying is that the extra fingers were introduced inadvertently due to some bad photoshopping (other examples on the site show extra limbs and arms and legs twisted in strange directions because of genuinely bad photoshopping)

Either way, it's stolen.

A DPCer just alerted me to this photo. Look familiar? Even worse, it was picked up as an example of bad Photoshopping and there wasn't any! Grrr....

It was still there a couple hours ago and I left the comment that I believed permission to use the photo had been denied.

Thank you Jay and MAK for letting me know.

Well I got an email from him today (after the fact) asking my permission to use it. I really don't mind if he asked permission beforehand. I also find it ridiculous as he has his name at the bottom right edge of the picture.

I try to answer him but my school I guess blocks facebook (that's where he contacted me). I will try sending my email again later this evening from home.

Here's my email to him:

==================

No it is not okay. Kindly delete it.

You should have asked my permission beforehand and you shouldn't have put your name in the picture (coz in effect it tells viewers that it is yours).

I would appreciate it if you delete the clip. I will come visit the site again tomorrow to check.

Hope you understand.

==================

Thanks everyone for "keeping an eye.:) Thanks Marac.

I have been in communication with this guy and he seems to be a bit of a wild card. I thought it was very rude of him to put his name on it and also the relation between Rosalinda and the creepy music is also offending as I know about her story and this does not credit her personality at all.. I knew you would never give permission for such a thing Manny. I hope he takes it down.

Video is still there he has given photo credit now, However Manuel I think you will have to contact youtube personally and prove to them that you own the rights to the photo, They will take the video down for you. A friend of mine had one of his songs used on youtube it took a few days but youtube support took care of it for him. They also flagged the user and kept an eye on them to make sure it didn't get reposted.

was it I.O.U.S.A? if so, I'm pretty sure there was a lawsuit/settlement and money was sent to a charity joey chose. He is very careful to make sure there is no profit from any photos in his homeless series.

I think it was. Good to know something happened with that.

Fear not, all will be revealed soon enough.. I'm pretty sure if the guy had the manners to ask Manny then he would also have the respect to credit the man too... some things are too obvious.
