If you cant see the cotton string, you must be blind, i also got rid of the shadow of the fingers on the left hand side, look at the original first, then the photoshopped one and you will see what i mean, i only photoshopped out the fingers because i can .lol.

And then go smartly into prison.

Anyway, maxis you did a good job although your success would have been even sweeter had you used a camera with a fast shutter. Aim the camera correctly, throw the pencil in the air and press the button on the camera. If you got it right, hey presto! The photo looks totally real and there are no marks hinting at string. Smile

It was only a quick touchup with photohop anyway, nothing particularly in depth, i dont have a camera with a fast shutter, all of mine are old digital ones, meaning, if you wanted to get a picture of a snail, when it finally takes the picture, the image of the snail would be blurred, as it is travelling faster than my lense can focus on lol, i may have slightly over exagerated, and if i had thrown it in the air, my hand would still be in the 'throwing' position, plus i would have to have fast reaction, so just as it entered my camera view, i would have to click the button, my reaction are that of a dead moose. lol

And as for the "fake ID" comments from apollo, you owuld be suprised, i made a couple of fake bus passes for my mates at school once when they lost theirs during lunch on the field.
