Once again folks, don't take this stuff at face value as presented on youtube. Do your own research, if you don't understand some bit or another, do more research to fill in the blanks so when you step up to the plate you know of what you speak rather than quickly showing that you bought into more ignorant misinformation.
He’s insinuating the whole thing was created with digital software, not just some incidental use of software like one would be required to use for scanning, like you mention.

Would digital software not be required to digitize a document?

I’m not going to comment on the theory because quite frankly I can’t endorse it, but since you made the accusation I’m curious: exactly what crime has been committed by, supposedly, digitally altering the scanned image of the birth certificate?

I've used Photoshop, Illustrator, and other various editing software for just about 7 years now, and I'm currently going to school for graphic design / computer programming. Based on the article from OP, the BC looks like a fraud, and a bad one at that.. which is what shocks me most. I've forged notes/other things using Photoshop in the past, and if in fact a fraud, whoever did this one overlooked simple things.. the lettering and spacing is sloppy; the spacing especially is something that anyone with moderate experience would pay attention to.. and was one of the first(and most important) things I kept in mind. Also, how some letters dip down, while others don't.. something that could have been easily edited to match but wasn't. The color(s) of the pixels around/on some letters don't match the background, or the letter itself.. once again this could have been corrected with minimal effort. However, I never thought of checking the dots on "i", which leads me to believe that if it is a fraud, the creator may have just overlooked these small details on the assumption that people wouldn't be examining every single inch of the BC with a 500% zoom.
I don’t see any statement on the White House page indicating they are claiming the PDF is a “true copy of the original.”

For starters, you can't digitally modify a birth certificate and claim it is a true copy of the original.
If you are talking about the stamp from the state registrar, well yeah, but he certified the photocopies, not the digital file.
On top of that people have born testimony that it is a copy of the original.
This nonsense has been debunked numerous times.

o.k., here it is: proof that the constitution says that a person has to have two american parents in order to be a 'natural born citizen', and thereby eligible to be POTUS.
In other words, Barack Obama Jr. is not eligible to be POTUS!

On April 27, 2011 President Barack Obama posted a certified copy of his original Certificate of Live Birth.

The Supreme Court in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) said that everyone born in the United States is a natural born citizen. Citing United States v. Rhodes (1866), the Court noted “[a]ll persons born in the allegiance of the King are natural-born subjects, and all persons born in the allegiance of the United States are natural-born citizens. Birth and allegiance go together. Such is the rule of the common law, and it is the common law of this country, as well as of England.”

Absolutely wrong.
1 - Neither the Constitution nor US Code has defined the term - period. So any other definition is unofficial and NOT legally binding. Until (and "if") the SCOTUS does so - there is NO legal definition.
2 - Whoever put this chart together is a complete idiot.
A - Wong Van Ark concluded that even though Wong was born of two CHINESE born immigrants - his physical birth on US soil made him a US citizen. Further, in the majority opinion, Justice Gray even said the following "His father and mother were persons of Chinese descent, and subjects of the Emperor of China; they were at the time of his birth domiciled residents of the United States,..."

B - Perkins V Elg held that even though born in the US of NATURALIZED citizens - she was still a US citizen.

THIS is precisely why you can't rely on a blog or some web site with an agenda (like the one you selected) - you wind up looking the fool. Birthers MUST learn to do the homework necessary to intelligently argue a point rather than "just assume" that what they've been told/read is correct and fact checked.
The Department of Health vouching for what is posted on the White House page should settle the question, if there was still any, for any sane person. I believe, IIRC, that it settled it for you.

My mind is open. Convince me Obama wasn’t born in the United States. Don’t tell me fairy tales and conjecture about “Marxist conspiracies,” show me the documents. Where is the documentation to support the theory that Barack Obama was not born in the United States?
