...why? What happened to copy-pasting random black people in with Photoshop like the good old days?

Of course there are no consequences imposed by Stanford upon Stanford for its inappropriate behavior. If a student lied like Stanford did here there would be consequences.

Rachel Dolezal walked so that they could run.

Or something.

And sweater swap.

I'm guessing it's large text over a collage of images and we're only seeing a closeup of the edited photo

Because it gives magats another excuse to shit on dei and continue promoting actual racism.

I have to say it's a stupid fucking move by Stanford too.

I think photoshop is like a weedeater. I photoshop things in Krita and GIMP, but I’d never GIMP or Krita things in Photoshop. I think that’s illegal in a couple states…

Hi I'm 26

None of the people in the "edited" picture are the same. Why even pretend to start with a real picture if you are going to replace everyone in it? Here's an even crazier idea, if you are so controlling over your marketing materials, hire people to model your sweaters and do a proper photo shoot in the cafeteria...

Somehow it was still less bad:

Each black guy you see in this catalog was, in fact, photographed at one point.

this is correct, it's called in-painting. you mat-out the area you want replaced and with modern GPT architecture you can also use text input to steer what gets in-painted

not saying that that was for-sure done here since the changes don't look too localized, but the technology absolutely exists

Holy shit that's exactly the story. Satire is truly dead
