Makes you wonder all the other "cooked" pictures and storys they had gotten away with over the years before the internet.

In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice's face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards. So they said it was inadvertent? I would think that the majority of reasonable people would recognize this as a lie. So they turned one F-up into two.

That's exactly right. The big boys have to circle the wagons and ignore the Reuters false imaging. This crap has gone on a long time. And if it weren't for the Internet, only a handful of people would know about it.

That looks more like Zombie eyes to me.
These photo doctoring episodes seem to be a test to see how far the media can go and what excuses can be generated that the sheeple will swallow.

What's funny is, if you look at the two pictures side by side, you'll notice very little facial enhancement on the doctored photo (other than the glaring white eyes, of course.)
The explanation that her face was edited for clarity is utter nonsense.

The reader believed USA Today used a filter from the program Photoshop called Unsharp Mask, which brings out detail in soft photos. Funny how the filter only brought out the "Demon Eyes!"

Wasn't that long ago "they" were saying, "Yeah, but, they got that off the Internet!"

Thank you. We'll be here all week.

I've modified photos of my kids before with photoshop trying to remove redeye and fix the eyes for various reasons. I've had the same sort of effect becasue I'm really bad at it. However, I was able to at least recognize how bad it looked and not keep the modifications, let alone print them for public consumption.
It was no mistake that this made it to print.
