| Pictures that lie  The photo on the right isn't exactly what it appears to be--nor are the other images that follow in this photo gallery. All were manipulated beyond straightforward cropping of edges or lightening shaded areas. Often they have a key element inserted or deleted. An image of Katie Couric, originally released in May by CBS, was slimmed down for reuse. The left photo is the official first-pic-of-Katie released by CBS. (TVNewser posted it in May.) The doctored photo on the right appears in the September issue of Watch magazine, which is owned by CBS, according to Mediabistro.com, which first reported on the alteration.

| Yeah, it's amazing what they can do with a little bit of Photoshop. The general idea is to always assume pictures have been retouched and doctored. I would bet that at least 75% of all pictures in the press is doctored today, and 100% of all pictures in ads and whatnot. Perpetuating skewed ideals. It's a good thing.
