You'd think with a multi-million dollar budget for this movie, a more convincing looking photo could have been ginned.

Yeah. How hard is it to get Affleck and five other guys to put on camo and sit for a picture?

Yes, people laughed in the theater when the closeup of the Gulf War photo was shown. And the photo was shown several times in the movie, and it looked fake from every angle.
It is unbelievable that the Prop Master or Production Designer would allow such shabby PhotoShop work to appear in a key close-up shot of the movie. Millions of Americans with a home computer could have done a better job...it's almost inconceivable that such atrocious work made it's way onto the screen...And the reason so many folks are commenting on this is that the mistakes were sooooo preventable.

It looked fake because we have eyes and can spot bad photo editing from a mile away.
I know its a movie, but its a movie with a large budget and the photos weren't just used in one scene, they were in numerous ones. Of course we know its not real, but when any one of us with half assed photoshop skills could make that photo look better without even being involved in the movie, its sad.
no point explaining. Jason's just embarassed that he doesn't know what photoshop is and had to ask a neighbour's kid to help him use his mouse.

On that note, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but does anyone think they used this photo of Crowe for the photo that was on Cal's refrigerator? I thought, wow, that's a pretty recognizable publicity shot to be using basically as part of a prop. It's been around forever and is common enough that it came up on the first page of a Google image search.

Obviously, they wanted him to look younger in the photo, but you'd think they could've gotten one of his private snapshots instead of looking for source documents in the public domain.
Do they do that all the time and this is just the first time I've noticed it?
Agreed.

Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley
I was thinking about that. They made Affleck's head looks gigantic compared to the others, it was hilarious.
"I call the movie, Risky Business, Risky It, because "it" means business."
It's supposed to be shot from the Gulf War, so what kind of camera did the photographer have. I can't see a soldier running the around Gulf War with an expensive camera. Also, the photographer made copies for the guys and kept the original, unless he took a dozen shots. So what we're seeing may have been supposed to look like a distorted copy of a copy of a copy.
My brother's photos from the Gulf War were horrible. Sand everywhere.
Nonetheless, I agree, the photoshop job was laughable!
