Photoshop Helps Indian Minister Gather Crowd in Political Rallies

07 nov 2007

A large crowd is made by Photoshop cloning the original few people in the rally, many times over, placing them side by side in the photographs creating the perception of huge public participation.

What can politicians do when they are addressing a political rally and there aren’t enough people in the audience?

When the chief minister of an Indian state ran into a similar problem, his press department hired some Adobe Photoshop expert to create fake crowds with the Clone tool in Photoshop.

Enlarge the photograph above and observe circles that have the same color. via

ha ha amusing! but that hardly matters, videos on tv cant fake crowds… the newspapers yeah do have some benefit with this trick.. but still nothing works like booze and money when collating rural citizens

Also notice in the bottom right of the image, there is a solid vertical line where the podium is, the lighting on the minister is coming from another direction. He isn’t even there! :p The crowd isn’t even looking at him!

The clones are probably to cover up billboards that would give this point away :p

With 400mn poor population of India , Indian politicians will never need technology to fake crowds. They anyway do it by paying the crowd for attendance and transport them from one place to another.These poor get food to eat and some liquor. ladies get sarees. The fags they carry for the meeting become their childreen’s dress or as sheets to cover themselves during cold weather. “HAMARA BHARAT MAHAN”.

Ramamurthy, “The fags the carry for the meeting”

Bwuahahahaha, then they skin them and become their dresses? I though people in the south were harsh to people with a gay lifestyle.
