About @SenFranken
EXIF data - the stuff cameras stamp on the digital versions of files? It protects, among other things the copyright of the photographer by LITERALLY stamping the date on when the snap was taken.
It ALSO records the last time a photo was modified.
2. There's lots of stuff in EXIF.
Date. Time (to the second!) Down to the focal length and shutter speed.
Pro photographers also put their Copyright Information in the EXIF as well. What good's a date without a person to attach that date to, after all?

1. Folks - we need to have a brief chat about 'Photoshopped' versus 'Modified'.
I am contending that the photograph supplied by Mrs. Tweeden as evidence Senator Franken committed a crime was staged by all participants in the photo.
2. Nothing in the photo Mrs. Tweeden presents seems to be altered. Al Franken is 'honking her breasts' while she feigns or fakes sleeping. I'm saying they were posing for a joke picture that she is cynically presenting as evidence in a crime.
3. She presented this photo (inadvertently, I'm guessing) as evidence in her article - attaching this file to it to 'prove' her allegations of sexual molestation. She literally states that 'Al Franken Groped Me'.
All other versions of this photo have that metadata stripped.
So - this photo --
Anyone know who took this one?
Thread. 1. ICC Profiles in Photoshop
Hey - my other thread talks about how this is all turning out to be, in my opinion, a cynical political stunt on the part of Senator Franken's accuser and her cohorts.
2. In it, I'm explaining how the metadata for .jpg files contains all sorts of things -- (BTW, you're going to want to delete your FB and other photos if you didn't remove the GPS entries in EXIF and took a pic in your own house.)
Well the ICC Profile is pretty interesting too!
3. No it's not. It's dull as shit. All of this malarky is dull as shit. But someone's got to do this because I don't see anything on the news about 'Holy shit! This looks like a huge scam!' - But that's okay.
Mini Thread
Here's what we know/can prove without a doubt. 1. Mrs. Tweeden submitted this file to her station and had it inserted into her article accusing Mr. Franken.
2. Her allegation about the photo is that it was taken without her knowledge on Christmas Eve 2006 during a 36 hour flight home at the end of the tour.
3. The photo has metadata stating it was a .jpg created with a Nikon D2H camera (the kind used by Combat Camera, USO photogs). The jpg was created on 12/21/06 at 17:19 PM (Assuming PST).
