Here’s a rather amusing story on how photoshopped shots can make headline news really quick. The whole Gran Turismo community is waiting for first previews of the game’s damage system and to shorten the waiting time, GTPlanet user Jantsu92 has photoshopped a Gran Turismo 5 Prologue shot to give others an impression on how it could look.
Since news websites and blogs frequently copy off each other (something I´m guilty of from time to time too), the shot quickly made it into headline news on various sites, causing lots of people to take the shot for real. Sadly, it’s nothing but quality artwork, leaving us waiting for GT5 damage shots again…..

I believe they have stated that they will continue to patch prologue. When it is complete it should have the same features as the full version, just with less content. Don’t quote me on this though.

Ya I am guilty of that. I saw it on N4G at 5am and posted it without even checking it, not realising it was at GTP already. Bunch of guys linked me and it just spread like crazy…Was really good photoshopping from the naked eye. I hope that dude who didn’t credit the author goes down as a loser for life
