Ooooh, at least he knows how to manipulate his photos! I don't use Photoshop. I only use that that progam that comes with my camera. I have no time to edit and I don't have editing skills. I used to be well-versed with Corel Draw but that was in high school. I only use that(PhotoImpression thing) to crop, resize and enhance the colors a bit. All my black and white photos are shot in B&W. Somebody told me I could just do it in the computer but I have no time for that. I don't like color anyway so it's best for me to shoot as it is. This China photog got an award but they had to revoke it... sad naman!

Here's an excerpt:
Suspicions about the photo became public last week after Mr. Liu's photograph was displayed in Beijing's subway system. An anonymous Chinese Internet user going by the screen name Dajiala raised questions about the photo's authenticity on one of China's largest photography Web sites. Dajiala, a photographer who claimed to idolize Mr. Liu, said he was studying a copy of the photo posted on Beijing's Line 5 subway platform when he rubbed some dust off it and noticed something odd.
"At the bottom of the photograph, there was a very obvious line," he wrote. "I examined it very carefully and it was obviously the stitching of two different images....Was this decisive moment just a simple Photoshop trick?"
His post created an online storm. Photographers blew up the image and analyzed each out-of-place pixel. Animal behaviorists weighed in, explaining that antelope are shy and noise-sensitive, and would scatter in panic at the sound of the high-speed train. When the chat-room controversy spread to China's largest Internet portals, the Chengdu Business Daily confronted Mr. Liu.
Cornered by the mounting evidence, Mr. Liu admitted he had indeed used Photoshop to blend two pictures, according to the newspaper.
