 Space Shuttle Discovery rests on Launch Pad 39B at KSC after completing its rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building in May 2006, in preparation for mission STS-121. One year later the STS-118 crew used the photo as backdrop for their crew portrait. |

Clearly, they were photoshopped in, instead of the Apollo pics with actual presence which I prefer to see. |

Was the moon photoshopped in too? |

The power of Photoshop. Apollo 14 remains the best crew portrait. |

Mark Kelly flew on STS-121 Discovery. Scott Kelly (shown) flew on STS-118, but that was Endeavour. They even changed the name on the orbiter from Discovery to Endeavour in the group photo. |

I'm not a fan of all the photoshopping. |

I always preferred the crew photos with the plain blue backdrop that have the flags and a model or two and show the crew patch. There were some that I liked that did not follow that system, 51-F with the payload was good. |

A photo like KSC-07pd1959 would make a better official shuttle crew portrait than anything photoshopped.

Ironically, the STS-121 crew portrait was also photoshopped. The name on the side of the orbiter in that photo was changed from Atlantis to Discovery. |

Apollo 17 at the pad with the Saturn V in the background. Now there's a crew portrait. |
