Faking a Cabinet Photo - TOO EASY
Posted By: Dan Bretta
So I decided to see what I could do to make nice display pieces because I wanted to get my cabinet photos out of light and safely locked away in my safe deposit and on a whim this morning I made a trip to Kinkos and the antique store. To my surprise it was way too easy and for $1.50 I produced this in about 5 minutes time and it looks way too real. I marked the back in case this ever gets out of my hands. |

I have noticed it starting to creep up on ebay, but thankfully so far the only ones I've seen are not good....as in using a mount that was no longer in use for that particular era photo or using a well known photo on a small town photography studio card. |

Clint, I thought about that when I was looking through them. I couldn't find a Lincoln cabinet which is what I wanted. |

There's been plenty of problems with fake images for a while now with the highly collectible civil war market. They use period mounts with digital images glued over an original low value common image just like you've done. It can scare you from the market rather quickly. |

Interesting phenomenon here that these both look almost identical colorwise with the naked eye, but the scanner really brightens up the "fake reprint" |

are fortunately rather EZ to spot in person with any simple magnifying device. If there's any dot matrix it's no photo but a mechanical copy. Images copied from original negatives (not ness. a wrong/dishonest thing) or items RE-PHOTOGRAPHED are quite a bit more difficult. |
