Photo Shopped???

[UCantCme]

I may be in danger of feeling stupid but i have to ask. Is this photo shopped or are there jacksons out there that actually have this coloration, I am guessing fake but like i said had to ask anyway.

shopped or hued lens, branch looks blue too.

i'm no expert with Jackson but i do know some about Photoshop i would say that's a 50/50 the scales are singly colored and i don't think someones gonna want to do those scales individually

Even tho im no expert in Jakson´s either, im not sure that this a Jackson. There are other species with tree horns. Maybe Trioceros fuelleborni?

most likely hued lens then, notice all the colors are "cool" colors. whites are light blues and yellows are greenish

Someone merely went over everything but the yellows with a blue tint tool, and then the yellows in a yellow tint tool.

Its definitely been re-colored.

Id love a blue jackson though...

It's from a Dorling Kindersley book called Rainforest by Thomas Marent. No info about image manipulation though. http://www.dk.co.uk/static/html/features/rainforest/gallery14.html

I might be a rare variation of the Johnston Chameleon

The description of the photo is Jackson's chameleon (Chameleo jacksoni), Mount Kenya National Park, Kenya.

Hi, my name is Thomas Marent and I am the photographer of this Jackson chameleon picture. I am not an expert on chameleons but a specialist indentified me the species as a Chameleo jacksoni.
It is not photoshopped. The original is a slide and it might have a slightly blue cast because it has been taken in the shade.
By the way in my book "rainforest" (2006) is no photoshopped picture at all and all the images have be taken with slide films. But now since already 6 years I only shoot digital.
All the best, Thomas
