In reply to the discussion: Trump Argues With ABC's Terry Moran About Photoshopped Image: 'He Had MS-13 On His Knuckles Tattooed!' [View all]John1956PA
(4,138 posts)27. Serious question. What is the technical term for the overlays?
The the added markers, indicators or overlays were inserted into the photo as a means to help the viewer of the photo interpret the tattood symbols. The fact that they were inserted into the image and the fact they are designed as an interpretation aid are obvious to anyone with a basic high school education.
There has to be term used for them. I do not think that "annotations" fits. I do not like the work "photoshop" being used in this case because it is used in situations wherein there is an attempt to deceive.

The video of him meeting with Senator van Hollen clearly showed no such MS-13 tattoo.

Nope. Even many of his supporters know that the MS13 isn't tattooed directly on the guy's hand

Trump knows they are photoshopped, he's just gaslighting. It's what he does, he never breaks character.

Politifact- President Donald Trump says Kilmar Abrego Garcia has "'MS-13' on his knuckles." Pants on Fire!
