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.

Virtually every fashion magazine cover and beyond has similar work done on it every month.

Someone should take the Lebanon fake clouds of smoke and make them fake clouds of katie couric over lebanon. And they should put her head on the wailing woman pic too. And on the WTC guy. etc etc

I read that as "slimier", but realized that it was not possible.

Every publicity photo for every well-known person is touched up in some way. Same with fashion magazines, ads, and -- I know this is hard to believe guys -- Playboy photos. And when anchors are on TV they dye their hair, wear hairpieces, and use makeup that makes them look younger and perkier. So what exactly is the big deal?

That's what that fat cow looks like WITH a private trainer?

It really troubles me that we are seeing more and more photoshopping being done by Media sources all over the place. It's one thing when some private individual photoshops a picture for amusement and posts it online, but quite another when it is done by an organization trying to sway public opinions; especially when they have sanctioned access to the public airways.

It isn't just al-Reuters anymore...

bouche is French for "mouth" IIRC.

I get that, but "bouch her to hell" is what I am puzzling over, and can't make anything work.

Thanks.

That is very good photoshopping! Can you photoshop someone the other way? From originally fat to photoshop stunning?

Wasn't this kind of thing part of the job of Winston in Orwell's 1984??
