LGF: Reuters Doctoring Photos from Beirut?
UPDATE I: Left & Right and Ace of Spades throw their two cents in too. UPDATE II: The Jawa Report has jumped into the fray. UPDATE III–Reader, Rick, points out:
When you get dust on your LCD it would print black dots on the image and be impossible to see without say a solid blue sky. Then the sky would have very small specks (Blak)[sic] in the sky. To remove you would use clone stamp with the smallest circle choice to replace the black spot with the blue sky. This joke of a shot has used very large circle clones.
