More pictures that lie

By CNET.com.au on 31 August 2006

CBS puts Katie Couric on a digital diet -- and that's just one of many recent instances of image trickery.

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.
