August 30, 2006 -- Talk about a miracle diet - Katie Couric has become the Incredible Shrinking Anchorwoman. Thanks to a computer "slight" of hand, the Tiffany network has made the new face of "CBS Evening News" instantly drop about 20 pounds.
In a picture widely distributed to the media last month, a normal-looking Couric wore a frumpy light gray suit and her trademark smile.
But thanks to Photoshop, the popular editing software, the same photo, printed in a CBS magazine, shows her looking much, much thinner - and her suit has become a few shades darker.

I bet it was a Reuters Photographer who photoshopped the Couric pic

Well, if the anchor gig falls through, she can always join Zora and Dan Marino on those commercials.

ooooooh This is too funny~!!!
And a damn fine photo shop job too, I might add! (it is hard to make a fake this good)
It is more than just resizing - it is actual phot retouching - look a the purple triangular areas between her arms and waist- other than for those I can not spot any other of the retouching.
You gotta admire great handiwork- who is the photoshopper? Come forth and take a bow.

As far as the magazine goes, an insider insisted the publication was just following normal industry practice when it shrunk Couric. He claimed that just about all magazines tinker with photos ...Does the First Amendment protect fraud? /rhetorical

Has she done that interview with the President yet? If not, the first thing he should tell her is that she appears to be "the picture of health".
To: The G Man
Come on, give her/Clinton Broadcast System a break. This was only done to make her look "perkier."

Well, I can't call her "Kewpie" anymore. Maybe I should call her "Porky" instead.
