英国肯辛顿宫10日公开的凯特最新照片遭多家外媒下架,指控“过度编辑”、“被操纵”。
英国肯辛顿宫昨(10)日公开英国凯特王妃祝贺母亲节的照片,这是她1月接受腹部手术以来首度正式公开亮相,画面中的凯特坐在椅子上露出灿笑,3名孩子围绕身旁。不过包括美联社、路透社等各大主流外媒后续纷纷下架该张照片,指出凯特女儿、夏绿蒂公主的袖子没有正确排列,认为照片“过度编辑”、“被操纵”,不符合外媒的发布准则,因此收回。对此,肯辛顿宫并未回应。
Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.

综合美联社、路透社、美国“野兽日报”(Daily Beast)报导,肯辛顿宫(Kensington Palace)10日公开凯特的照片后,不到12小时,美联社、路透社、法新社、Getty Images等英国王室发布照片的四大重要途径后续先后发布紧急建议,宣布下架该照,美联社指出,“经过仔细检查,消息来源似乎以不符合美联社照片标准的方式操纵照片,照片显示夏绿蒂公主左手的排列并不一致”。
路透社则指出,该社图片编辑认为,夏绿蒂公主的开衫毛衣袖子“并未适当排列”,显示照片“被改动”。
I’ve never been much of a conspiracy theorist but if @AP @AFP @Reuters & other picture agencies are concerned enough to remove it and ask clients to delete it, there are serious questions for Kensington Palace - which was the source of the photo.

路透社指出,主流照片通讯社“禁止发布被过度编辑的图片”,例如《路透社新闻手册》要求,编辑工具Photoshop只能在“非常有限的情况下”使用,包括用来安排版面、裁减、调整大小,以及平衡色调与颜色。
路透社更要求客户不要使用该照。在发布给客户的建议中,路透社表示正在删除该张照片,要求客户从系统中删除该照。美联社也对客户有同样要求。
