Why "that picture" was killed.

[CurlewKate]

Photo agencies can only accept pictures that represent "a moment in time." The picture can be tidied up, but can only be a single image. "That picture" was a composite, or a montage, so didn't represent a single moment in time. This rule applies even to merging images from the same shoot.

Obviously if the picture had been simply posted by them on their Instagram feed, it would have been fine. But it wasn't. It went to the agencies with the intention of syndicating it world wide, so not fine. HTH.

Yes that actually does help. Thank you.
You’d think KP would also have known this and not allowed it to go out in the first place 🙄

Forgot to add that they ten lied that it was taken last week to deceive the public into believing they're seeing a recent photo.
If anyone tried to deceive their employer in this way they'll be sacked!

That bit is not established, actually. The images used to create the composite image that was released could have been taken last week as claimed, or not. We don’t know either way.

press agencies are very twitchy right now regarding altered or ai enhanced or generated images.

Yes, when a photo suggests a narrative, the credibility of the agencies is on the line if they post it.

The BBC posted the photo and its accompanying narrative without looking very closely at it, and frankly it doesn't reflect well on them.

It's not just about that picture though, it's about credibility of what they publish generally.

Oh good ANOTHER thread

This couldn't have been added onto the 25000 other threads about it??

I’m confused is CurlewKate the same as WhatAreThey?

Because the BBC would have relied on the news agencies who released it having satisfied themselves it was accurate.

That's why it's such a big issue - the professional credibility of news picture agencies is at stake if they send on faked/manipulated photos. Hence the kill notice.

@Kedece I made this a separate thread because it actually has useful
Information in it which I thought people might find helpful. Feel completely free not to click on it!

Huh?

What useful information did you provide?

Blimey, who's have thought a small number of gossip mongers name changing and starting multiple threads on the same subject..

Forgot to add…..

Have you previously posted on this thread and I can’t see it?😵‍💫

This Red ❗️ Warning ❗️ on Instragram illustrates the absolute lunacy of the situation perfectly.

@StormzyinaTCup

I initially thought that as well.

But what curlewkate said is factual.

The other poster then just came in with speculation and I think was inferring "you" forgot to add.

That's one explanation, the other is name change fail

Righto

Comedy gold😂

I can see it. I often get myself and other people mixed up.
🙈

@AliceOlive "What useful information did you provide?"

Why this particular picture was killed when many other photoshopped pictures aren't.

I don't understand the name change thing. Can someone explain?

Don't ask me! I have no idea!

We didn't

I’m even more confused Roussette, why did you say that?

I’m not seeing anything especially new or unique in your OP but ok.

I’ll let you sort out the rest!
