Are these see-through images photoshopped onto the laptop screen portion of the image rather than displayed on them?

That picture is a real picture of real laptops, showing what is actually on their screens.

What they do is this: Set up the camera on a tripod, set up the laptops.

Take a picture of the scene with the laptop open (#1), and with the laptop closed(2).

Take the part of the background covered by the screen in Pic #1 from pic #2, and load it into photoshop. Turn it and convert it so with will look correct, from the correct angle, when loaded as wallpaper. Load it as wallpaper on the laptop, and take a new, final picture.

Of course, in that one, they did this three times, for three "overlapping" laptop screens.

Here's how I'd do it. I don't know if it's how they do it:

Take pictures from a tripod with and without screens.
Overlay them, and on the "without" picture, mark the locations of the corners of the screen on the "with" picture.
Cut out the quadrilateral marked by those corners, reshape it into a rectangle, and set that as the desktop.
Retake the picture with the screen.

Redo it for each layer.

I wonder what's in the skillet? Eggs?

Anyway, it's a pretty sweet set-up.
