Katie's Extreme Makeover? (another altered image!)
TV Newser ^ | Tuesday, Aug 29 | Brian Stelter

Posted on 08/29/2006 10:57:20 PM PDT by FreedomCalls

"Talk about a waistline touch-up," an e-mailer says:

The left photo is the official first-pic-of-Katie released by CBS at this year's upfront. (TVNewser posted it in May.) The right photo is an edited version of the same photo, from the September issue of Watch magazine, which is owned by CBS. (Here's the PDF of the magazine.)

Fake, but inaccurate.

Remember when they did that to Hillary's mug shot on her book, "Living History"? Made her slimmer, prettier, and 30 pounds lighter. Made her look 1,000 times better.

And I can't help but laugh when a Freeper bought Hill's book, got in line at a book signing, and asked Hillary when she got to the front who did the computer touchup for the cover of the book. Hillary's face went from perky to witch in a moment and the Freeper was whisked away immediately without Hillary's autograph.

Just some things I noted about the edit..
1. Pic2 has more background on the left..
Evidently both pics have been "cropped" from a larger original..But they are probably 2 different crops of the same original..

2. Note the lighter crescent in the upper left drape.
It is thinner in pic2..
My guess, pic2 was originally a wider crop than pic1, then it was "squeezed", i.e., resized horizontally, effectively thinning the subject matter..

3. Not only has the waist been edited, but the arms as well.. And the hips, just below the arms..
Folds at the shoulder are not in pic2, likewise, the elbows.. At the hip, the jacket bottom is clearly seen, but not so well in pic2, if at all..

4. The neck has definitely been edited, as well as the cheeks and jawline.. ( pic1 the cheeks are rounder, as is the whole face..)

5. The chin has been edited, or rather the shadow under the chin, to eliminate what is probably a saggy neck.. (wattle)

6. Lighting / color balance is changed in pic2 to eliminate some of the softness of pic1..
Eliminating the yellow and increasing red/blue accents the lights and darks, and introduces a more "angular" appearance..
Thus, the features seem sharper, there is more definition between light and shadow in pic2..

7. The suit has been darkened to lose some of the detail of the pinstripes..
This is partially for the thinning effect of darkening the suit, and partly to camoflauge the editing done to the picture..

Why not just air a computer animation of this nitwit.
Because unlike Max Headroom, Minimal Headroom doesn't go over too well.
