It’s definitely been Photoshopped, IMO. Aisles were lined up to make them appear to exist and the support structure is overlaying the crowd, instead of being able to see crowd “thru” it. At first I didn’t think it was 'shopped; I just thought it was a bad panorama thing, like NineLineMan.
However, I know where that is; I live right down the road from it. That’s Henderson Pavillion, right here in Henderson, NV. It’s got 2,444 fixed seats and room for maybe another 1,500 on the grass above the roofed area, as the website notes.
Not sure how many people Romney claimed came to see him there, but the picture as published is definitely misleading.
This site has non-jobbed pictures starting with the 4th one down the page. The 9th one down shows that the grass is somewhat less packed than the first couple seem to indicate.
Once again, a Republican accepts a party line without questioning it:
Sununu has obviously accepted Zamfir as the acknowledged “Master of the Pan Flute”.
But has ANYone from the Right asked themselves "How much competition was there?"
That is not the work of a professional photographer, that’s a staffer not using a compact camera properly. The inaccurate result doesn’t even look much more impressive than the accurate one.
Although now I’m a bit angry at the site posted by MOIDALIZE. This picture of claimed alterations is hogwash, but I’ll put that down as incompetent with a dash of seeing-what-you-want-to-see.
Well, yeah, but “campaign doesn’t bother to pay professional photographer despite allegedly huge event” is less stupid than “campaign can’t photoshop for shit”.
Just in case others missed it, John Scalzi says in the first comment that the letter is fictional.

For those of you who didn’t figure it out earlier, this is satire. However, just because it is satire, does not mean it’s intended to be funny.
