But the version published by the News seemed to erase a gory wound to the woman's leg that was visible in other publications that used the photo. On Tuesday evening, a link to a blog post exposing the manipulation began circulating among News journalists, some of whom were none-too-pleased about the situation, multiple newsroom sources told Capital.

In the security video he is simply strolling along, with the backpack lower on his back, yes.
However, anyone whose ever done this would know... When jogging or running with a backpack, you pull the strap hard with your hand to keep the backpack in place and close to your back so it does not bounce all over the place.
This is simply conjecture of course but that is how I've always done it. Pull the strap tight and keep the bag close to your back.edit on 21-4-2013 by PatriotGames2 because: (no reason given)
Fair enough - he could have adjusted the strap. But I have to fall back to logic and reason here - how does it come to one brother being dead and the other being in serious condition after some serious resistance on their part if they are totally innocent? Are you suggesting they were set up our gov't so that the gov't could initiate a "false flag" to further some NWO agenda? Logic should dictate that this is what it appears to be and that this flimsy photographic evidence of anything to the contrary is just that - flimsy.

Ohhh please, so what, because it actually turns out that in that picture he doesn’t have his backpack then all of a sudden this must be photoshoped so it will fit with the paranoid conspiracies?
Bad people exist, some of these bad people learn to build bombs and some of them even detonate these bombs to kill people, it does not mean that there is some grand conspiracy at play.
Claiming the pictures have been Photoshoped because you find out that they don’t fit in with the conspiracy is a little bit desperate, the fact is that picture clearly shows that he did not have his backpack when he was feeling the scene.
Confirmation bias?
I think so

Wow ignorance and defensive at people speculating. Let them who knows someone could figure this out to be a conspiracy.
But coming in here with no proof what so ever speculating they are basically untouched photos and saying people are getting desperate is desperate to being ignorant. How does it clearly show he don't have his pack? this photo is taking on a front on kinda angle. He was walking with his backpack to his left shoulder in surveillance footage.
What are you even doing on a conspiracy site if you can't let people speculate that there might be a conspiracy anyway?

The first photograph I have zoomed in on and highlighted the inconsistency with a RED line.
The provenience of the photo is rather solid. It was discovered by Redditors, posted to a running forum on the day of the explosions.
It wasn't until the FBI released their photos that this photo became important.

Look at one thing in the pics you posted - the position of the backpack in the one pic is pretty low near his hip/butt, however the supposed photoshopped area is much higher up. Since he obviously does not have a backpack strap over his left shoulder, the backpack should still be in the same position, which it is not. He does not have a backpack.edit on 21-4-2013 by redtic because: (no reason given)
Bloomberg reported that the key witness told investigators that he saw a man wearing a cap, sunglasses, a black jacket and hooded sweatshirt look him in the eye before dropping a bag at his feet only to explode 2.5 minutes later.

Thanks. I missed that detail.
On another note, I thought they said they had video footage of one bomber placing the bag? Now its an eye witness, Jeff Bauman, the man in the wheelchair being aided by the cowboy Carlos. He said one of them put the bag down by his feet. Story

This does not seem right either, he actually looks posed and maybe dead.
If this was him "climbing into the boat" filmed by a security camera why is the boat cover so torn?
