    Photographer Explains How CBS Uses Color Adjustments To Make Bannon 'Look Bad' On 60 Minutes

    For the record I have no opinion of Steve Bannon.

    But this is an example of how subtle, and how low, the networks go to influence people.

    Following Steve Bannon's highly anticipated interview with Charlie Rose on 60 Minutes Sunday night, professional photographer Peter Duke published a video explainer on how CBS may have used color adjustments to make the Breitbart News boss "look bad" on television.

    "It seems like 60 minutes would like you to listen less and look more at Steve Bannon. By subtly tweaking the color of the video, they make him look like a bleary-eyed drunk. I show you how they did it," writes Duke on the video's YouTube page.

    Peter Duke has photographed Milo Yiannopoulos, Scott Adams and James O'Keefe.

    In the video, Duke explains how CBS color adjusted Bannon's shots to make his eyes and lips red by increasing the level of saturation. This results in curtains that are a brighter orange behind Bannon than they are in Charlie Rose's shot. Rose's shot was made "cooler," to make the host's make-up more subtle.

    Duke then adjusted the interview's lighting, removing Bannon's redness and Rose's "coolness."

    The result is a natural looking Bannon.

    As author Ann Coulter pointed out, these types of mainstream media tricks aren't done on Fox News — hence why conservatives look better on the channel.

    Below is a transcript of Peter Duke's video:

    DUKE: I wanted to talk a little bit today about color correction and grading, and how it can be used to make people look better or worse on television. This is a still frame of Steve Bannon from the 60 Minutes interview that's going to run tonight. And the first things that I noticed was that there were red circles around his eyes and his lips looked cherry red. And I also noticed the curtains in the background looked really orange......



    ...So I started comparing the two shots of Charlie Rose and Steve Bannon to see what kind of differences I could find, and it was very interesting. The first thing that you need to take a look at is the coloring saturation. Those drapes in the Breitbart Embassy are actually the same color. Now the light lighting them might be slightly closer or farther away, which accounts for the brightness, but they are the same color. And you can see from these two shots that they are defiantly not the same color.


    If you take a look at Charlie Rose's shirt, it's about 13 unit of blue from neutral, which means that they've graded it into a cooler shot. That does a couple of things. It makes his make-up look less clownish and it also knocks down the contrast a little bit. So, I'm going to do the same thing to Steve. I'm going to make it a little bit bluer and I'm also going to lighten up the shadows a little bit. And Voila, the blood shot eyes are gone. ...






    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...

    Not a Bannon fan, but I'm not surprised, not surprised at all -

    Sounds like what one of the major news magazines did to OJ Simpson after he was arrested in the 90's - darkened his image to make him appear sinister.

    They manipulate through photography a lot....anyone they don't like they portray this way....remember Treyvon Martin? This is why we can't take them seriously anymore...
