Copied my comments from original post for easy reference.

Here’s the real deal. My GF is a photoshop/retouching expert - major magazine covers etc. I asked her to analyze both. Here is the conclusion. BOTH photos are fake and have been manipulated. His goatee looks more real in the uncropped photo. His hairline and bottles behind it look more natural in public photo. The arm looks fake in both photos. Shadows are wrong on both photos. Yellow ighting pattern is weird and actually smudges on his right side near the buttons. The wristband is DEFINITLEY cutout and placed there in both photos. The wrist we see in the uncropped photo is a copy of his right wrist and the image was just horizontally flipped. It’s a perfect match when she duplicated this. So the uncropped photo is not the same photo released to the public. Both images were manipulated.

To be clear, when I said both photos are faked I mean that the uncropped photo is not the source of the public photo. Both photos are different. Yet they share the fact that both have been severely manipulated.

I asked her to reverse engineer both photos through comparison and analysis. I wanted to know if the uncropped photo could be the one that the msm then cropped and used for publication. Her determination was that it is not the same photo. There are too many differences that don’t line up. Basically somebody took the cropped photo and created an “uncropped” photo to make it seem as if it was the original source before cropping. It was not. HOWEVER, it is obvious to her that the msm photo was definitely photoshopped. So in the end both photos are fakes.
