Photoshop Fail – Bite becomes Shite
I like to include a suitable pic to accompany posts I put up in madhatters
Increasingly, if I can’t find what I want using a google search, I’ll cobble one together myself using a photo-editing piece of software
The process involves loading 2 or more pics into the software – each as a separate ‘layer’ stacked one on top of the other – editing each photo to remove everything except what I want to keep, then merging all the layers to obtain the final composite picture I have in mind
The order in which these layers are merged (which layer is on top, and which is underneath) is important – as Aberdeen city council has discovered to its cost
Firefighters Rescue Man from Bin
The Aberdeen Press & Journal published this pic of a man with his head stuck in a waste bin in Castle Street last night.

Yet that is what friends did when a guy passed out and stopped breathing – after an apparent heroin overdose
And it did the trick !!!

The Sheriff Court heard that she caused ‘fear and alarm’ amongst those who witnessesd the event – [oddly enough, naked women have that effect on me, too] 😳
