is this photo for real?

I like what's going on with the new finder, but seems too good to be true, and this version is much more advanced than any we have seen before.

Love the inspector!

fake (its a good one if it is)?

TETENAL · Oct 29, 2006, 11:39 AM

Fake.

Simon · Oct 29, 2006, 11:40 AM

Source?

moonmonkey · Oct 29, 2006, 11:52 AM

It was posted on think secret's forums.

My first thoughts were fake, but the more I look the more it makes sense.

Mediaman_12 · Oct 29, 2006, 11:55 AM

Fake
Looks like a big event, there hasn't been one with a Leopard demo (since WWDC anyhow). The Dock contains the pervious iTunes icon (the one with the green note)

rjenkinson · Oct 29, 2006, 12:02 PM

fake. look at the edges of the audience's silhouette. the "about this mac..." dialog has a dashboard widget X in the corner and the only reason i can think of for jobs' photo being superimposed on the desktop is to give the image a false sense of authenticity. you wouldn't actually see that at a real event.

-r.

rickey939 · Oct 29, 2006, 12:22 PM

I saw this in the National Enquirer, so it's real.

moonmonkey · Oct 29, 2006, 12:26 PM

I think this is meant to be an iChat feature where the person you are talking to is superimposed on the screen while you are working.

Great eye!

moonmonkey · Oct 29, 2006, 01:05 PM

does look like a photoshop noise filter was applied.

shame.

sushiism · Oct 29, 2006, 01:40 PM

Apple would never do horrible "My first web 2.0 photoshop tutorial" buttons like that big close button.

seanc · Oct 29, 2006, 02:45 PM

Is that a Windows icon I can see in the bar at the top? Anyway, Jobs isn't vain enough to superimpose himself onto a picture, so definitely fake.

That picture also looks like a MacBook, with a glossy screen hmmmm which makes it definitely photoshopped.

imitchellg5 · Oct 29, 2006, 05:42 PM

Why would it have a pic of Jobs holding up the 1G shuffle with the shuffle edited out? As for the About this Mac, hit control-option--8 to do that ( repeat for normal).

goMac · Oct 29, 2006, 05:49 PM

Fake fake fake.

FUNKY. I like these inverted colours.

rickey939 · Oct 29, 2006, 06:06 PM

Is that a "Spotlight" icon within "About this Mac" window?

Ya, what mode does that keyboard shortcut engage?

I like it, it's easy on the eyes. lol

It invokes the Universal Access 'Black on White' mode.

mikemako · Oct 29, 2006, 09:03 PM

Also fake because the desktop has the default wallpaper from OS X 10.0.

kick52 · Oct 29, 2006, 09:51 PM

i dont know about anyone else.. but the UI looks all over the place.. the aqua and the dark together is too much contrast, and on top of that dektop bg?

crazy. very non-apple like

this isnt leopard.

if we havent proven its fakness enough already:

that screen edge *SCREAMS* crappy PSing

Severed Hand of Skywalker · Oct 30, 2006, 12:59 AM

Jobs totally looks like he has a comb-over in that shot.

kick52 · Oct 30, 2006, 11:05 AM

i dont get why you would want to put a reflection of him there... it doesnt make any sense...

gperks · Oct 30, 2006, 06:37 PM

If it were real, my take is that the image of Jobs is to show where his hand is clicking (with a pen perhaps). The controls nearby are zoomed to increase accuracy of the click - i.e. this is a tablet interface.

Love "Send Back to Dashboard" on the widget.

Looks plausible to me.

sorry, but this isnt real. look at my post above with the picture. the edge is too sharp.

also, how'd you expect to get all of those people to shut up?

besson3c · Oct 30, 2006, 07:10 PM

I think it is real.

kmkkid · Oct 30, 2006, 07:29 PM

I see Apple are now making projection screens with the gloss finish. Cool.

Steve is also now over 1000 ft tall. Even cooler.

GSixZero · Oct 30, 2006, 09:55 PM

I think it's fake, but I think whoever made it put steve in there half way to make it seem more like a presentation. At events like this, the main screen is often cross-faded from a live shot of the presenter to a slide or computer desktop like this.

The picture was just taken in the middle of the cross-fade, hence seeing both the presenter (Jobs) and the computer background.

gperks · Oct 30, 2006, 10:10 PM

It's not a glossy screen and Jobs isn't 100 foot tall. Even if you think it's fake, see it for what it's trying to portray. The image from the Mac's camera is being composited onto the screen. You can do almost the same thing today with one of the utilities that makes your desktop background be a Quartz Composition. The idea here to show where Job's hand is as he manipulates the touch UI.

Jobs is holding a pen not a Shuffle. It looks like a pen interface to me.

Finally, how do you keep all those people quiet? Well, that could be the Leopard team at Apple. Perhaps now they're merging the new UI look into the WWDC codebase and showing it off to the rest of the Leopard team.

Anyway, with a leaked photo they did NOT manage to keep it quiet!

Art Vandelay · Oct 30, 2006, 10:28 PM

It's fake.

Has anyone noticed the date and time? Do you really think Steve had time to do a secret demo at 9:50am on August 7, 2006, 10 minutes before the WWDC keynote?

Art Vandelay · Oct 30, 2006, 10:31 PM

And somehow he managed to grow a beard in that 10 minutes.

xi_hyperon · Oct 31, 2006, 11:47 AM

A photoshop job, and not a very well-done one at that.

Photo678 · Oct 31, 2006, 03:36 PM

Its fake.....macthemes.net held a contest a while ago for replicating a leopard screenshot.....this is one of the entries.....

MacThemes Forums :: View topic - Announcing the Fake Leopard Screenshot Contest

That screenshot is on page four close to the bottom.

lol, its a quick spoof i made...

dont go too hard on me tho, its my first spoof and i dont even have a good graphics editor!!!

monkeybrain · Oct 31, 2006, 11:27 PM

I like the use of black in the screenshot, even if it is just fake. I've always liked those black palette windows ever since they appeared in iPhoto.

spatterson · Nov 1, 2006, 02:13 AM

Def a fake... look at the old itunes app icon in the dock, its green not blue.

mitchell_pgh · Nov 1, 2006, 02:45 AM

I would be rather upset if the GUI changed considerably. I just want a clean update to what we currently have with perhaps a few nice/logical upgrades.

I don't need transparent or black... just a nice clean update to the GUI.

AND A FAST AND RESPONSIVE FINDER!!!

Stay cool people. Everything will be alright.

Matt OS X · Nov 1, 2006, 07:44 AM

Fake! Because on the bottom of the screen, you see 6.0 version of iTunes (green) so.. it's outdated. Not Leopard.

cybergoober · Nov 1, 2006, 08:53 AM

Well, "my sources tell me" that the latest ADC Leopard build didn't come with iTunes 7.x as part of it either, so I wouldn't be so quick to use that as justification for calling "fake" on this pic.

moonmonkey · Nov 1, 2006, 09:27 AM

OMG! this has been confirmed as real bullshit.

Yep, I just read that on MOSR as well. Amazing!

monkeybrain · Nov 1, 2006, 10:58 AM

Stop debating if it's fake. It's a mockup, read the macthemes thread mentioned above.

silverboy31 · Nov 1, 2006, 11:21 AM

"Well, "my sources tell me" that the latest ADC Leopard build didn't come with iTunes 7.x as part of it either, so I wouldn't be so quick to use that as justification for calling "fake" on this pic."

This statement is false i have the lastest build being an ADC member" Leopard Client Build 9A283"
and itunes 7 is included and this screenshot is very fake...read this MacThemes Forums :: View topic - Announcing the Fake Leopard Screenshot Contest

Well for starters, that you make a little mock-up and another guy buys it and goes all apeshit about it. Some people need to chill, seriously.
