Is that a manip? I'm thinking yes ... but then maybe it's not and if there's a small chance that it's not - where's it from and where can I get it in bigger?

Did you crop it? Or did you find it that way? The cropping seems weird. Like when someone does a kissing manip from a screencap and their whole heads aren't in the original screencap so the manip is cropped really close to hide that. Hopefully that made some kind of sense. Plus she seems way more in focus and sharper than him. It could just be strange lighting though, where the flash is hitting him directly and not her and he's shadowing her a bit. Usually I can tell cause I recognize the original picture that was used, but I don't recognize that pic of Jared. So I'm actually no help at all!

I didn't crop it, I just saved it as is.

Right? Usually, I recognize the picture too but yeah. Not really recognizing this one.

I mean it probably is a manip, but man I'd like to know what pictures were used.

I opened it up in Photoshop and I gotta say, it is a damn fine job if it is a manip. I couldn't see any of the usual tell tell signs when I raised the levels and such. The only thing that possibly seemed fishy was some choppiness around the back of his hair. But even that wasn't really convincing. I just can't tell! It's damn frustrating. And I can't believe I've spent this much time trying to figure it out!

I know this is a crazy suggestion, but you could probably find your answer if you post this to dean_sam. If nothing else, you might cause some drama amongst the haters. LOL

Heh, thanks for doing all that.

I'm not a member of that comm nor do I want to be. If you are and you'd like to post it, feel free.
