Lynn E Angell: The 'Princess' Image

Here's a larger version of the "Lynn Angell wearing a tiara" image posted earlier today. This version provides much more detail and brings out a number of other anomalies, which clearly indicate that this image has been manipulated. The image contains a reference to QuickTime v7.6.6 and Mac OS X 10.6.4 in the EXIF header. The date/time of the QuickTime entry is 09/11/2010 at 17:50, the same day the web article was published. It's possible that the image was manipulated using analogue methods before being scanned, or that it was first scanned and then digitally manipulated in a hurry. This would certainly explain why the final image appears so amateurish.

First, here's the larger version at its original resolution. This image can be found @ http://hometown-pasadena.com/talk-of-our-towns/remembering-a-911-angell/

Lynn Angell

Here's an enlarged version of the above image, with the main anomalies highlighted in red.

It's case closed on this image, which is very obviously a fake. For that matter, so is the article, written by Colleen Dunn Bates, on the web page it's taken from. It's strange that Colleen had to resort to an image editor in order to provide us with an image of her good friend Lynn Angell...
