BP網站上公布的得州休斯敦市指揮中心的工作照
據英國《每日郵報》7月21日報道，英國石油公司(BP)位於得克薩斯州休斯敦市的清理漏油指揮中心，被譴責修改工作照片，制造工作人員繁忙的假象。BP日前公開承認。
上周末，BP網站上出現一張得州休斯敦市指揮中心的工作照。照片顯示，幾名工作人員正在監控10個巨大的視頻顯示器，畫面顯示的均是墨西哥灣漏油的畫面。BP發言人斯科特·迪恩日前承認，事實上其中有幾個屏幕並沒有圖像，但為了制造效果，一名攝影師利用Photoshop軟件在空白屏幕上添加了虛假畫面。目前BP已經將原圖在網站上公布。
據悉，發現圖片經過PS的是一名網友，他在“美國博客”網站上捅出了這個消息。這一事件令正在出訪美國的英國首相卡梅倫十分尷尬，他此前曾表示將對BP制造墨西哥漏油事件進行額外懲罰。(沈姝華)

為什麼BP會Photoshop它的危機指揮中心？
Why Would BP Photoshop Its Crisis Command Center?
By Carl Franzen
AOLNews.com
BP’s public image problems took a turn for the weirder on Monday, with AMERICAblog’s John Aravosis exposing a poorly doctored photo of the company’s crisis command center in Houston that had been posted to the official crisis response website. The company has now come clean (sort of) to The Washington Post -- claiming this morning that it was the photographer who snapped the image who was responsible for inserting three extra video screens into a bank of monitors. It still remains unclear, though, precisely why the alterations were even made in the first place.
Check out the differences for yourself. First up, the Photoshopped image as it originally appeared on BP’s website:
HIVE at Houston Command Center, July 16, 2010. (BP LLC) ALTERED IMAGE
Next, the updated image posted last night, purportedly unaltered, which shows three blank ROV screens in place of the underwater images that had been pasted into the original photo.
HIVE at Houston Command Center, July 16, 2010. (BP LLC) ORIGINAL IMAGE
"Normally, we only use Photoshop for the typical purposes of color correction and cropping," BP spokesman Scott Dean told the Post in an e-mail. "In this case, they copied and pasted three ROV screen images in the original photo over three screens that were not running video feeds at the time."
BP’s remote-operated vehicles (ROVs), or robot submarines, have played crucial roles in the response to the gulf oil spill crisis since it began, sending back video and still images of the scene around the well and operating the various proposed mechanical solutions for containing the leak a mile below the surface, where no human divers can work.
However, BP has been criticized for suppressing damning underwater video footage from the public -- specifically, footage that showed much more serious leaks than the company was admitting to during the days immediately following the Deepwater Horizon platform explosion on April 20.
In this case, the company, or someone employed by it, seems to have made the opposite error -- supplying extra views where there were none. Why would BP or the photographer do so? Bloggers have proposed several theories.
1。照片太舊
1. The Photo Was Too Old
As one of AMERICABlog’s readers pointed out, "The photo contains data suggesting it was taken in 2001, not July of 2010 as claimed on BP’s website. That would suggest at least one possibility is that BP took an old photo and Photoshopped new pictures of the oil spill over it, to make it look ’new.’" The company has not addressed this speculation, and the meta data for the updated photo contains a time stamp from July 16.
2. BP擔心博客氣候
2. BP Feared the Blogosphere
Gawker’s Max Read wonders if BP was hoping to avoid further public criticism for posting a photo showing blank video screens. "Were they so afraid of the withering comments of bloggers noticing three blank screens that they thought they should paste in three duplicate images?" If so, the mission failed.
3. BP並不在乎
3. BP Just Doesn’t Care
EnergyBoom’s Nathanael Baker offers one of the most cynical interpretations yet, saying that the faked photo is just further evidence of the company’s unrepentant audacity. "With all the public scrutiny surrounding BP, it is absolutely amazing that the company not only continues to make such poor public relations decisions, but also continues to offer misinformation to the world."
4. BP回應：好心做壞事及技術故障的結合
4. BP Responds: Combination of Good Intentions Gone Bad, Technical Glitches
UPDATED: BP spokesperson Scott Dean told Surge Desk that the photo was altered in post-production by the photographer and a team of editors, to make the scene "more panoramic," but that it was a mistake and that the company has not and will not be doing any similar adjustments.
When asked if there are other photos currently on the website that have undergone similar Photoshop treatments, Dean said that "some have undergone color-correction and cropping, but that’s generally the extent. We’re currently looking through and reviewing all of the other photos to make sure nothing like this has happened anywhere else. It’s certainly not a routine practice."
