Faking an ancestry dna test


Question Posted Monday February 20 2017, 4:01 pm

Friends, I'm going to have to ask that you dont ask why I need this, but I wanna know how I can photoshop a DNA test like the ones they do on ancestry.com for the desired results. Don't ask, just tell me how to do it. Thank you.

You would have to scan the document (if it is on paper) as a .pdf file at at least 300 dpi. Or it may already be a .pdf. If the .pdf is protected you'll still have to scan it unless you can decrypt it. Either way you'll have a .pdf. You then open the .pdf in photoshop and choose 300dpi as the resolution. It will appear with all the black text and graphics as a layer, over a pale chequerboard 'transparent' layer. Fill the transparent layer with white then flatten all layers. It will now look like a sheet of white paper with text/graphics upon it. (1) Use the rectangular marquee tool on any white area to select a small rectangle the size and shape of the text/gaphics you want to cover. Use paste as new layer command then use the arrow tool to move the white rectangle over what you want to cover and then use 'flatten all layers'. Repeat everything fom (1) as many times as you need to to obliterate anything you want to change. Now use the text tool to write what you want to say/change it to in every case. Create text as 'floating layers' Use the arrow key to position each piece of text/element in precisely the right place. When you have finished use 'flatten all layers' to rasterize all the text layers. You will have to match the font and it's size to exactly that of the 'original' text you have not replaced or it will look all wrong. If you can't, you'll have to replace all the text in a similar font. Finally save the file as a .pdf. It will print nice and clean. Dragging 'guides' from the ruled-border in Photoshop will help you get your text and graphics nicely aligned on the page, and make the job look very slick. If you are a bit hit-and-miss about this it shows.
PS. I'll just point out that I'm not a forger, I'm a photographer and have spent more hours using Photoshop than is strictly healthy!!
