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..
Not just the waistline. Everything from the neck down looks like it's had some redaction, er...reduction done.
And this is a simple two second step when resizing a photo in Adobe Photo-Deluxe.
They say TV adds 10 lbs. Katie is in trouble when they can't photoshop TV news.
CBS blames the "editorial staff" of a promotional magazine for doctoring a photo to dramatically slim Katie Couric down, but those editors are in fact the network’s PR staff.
Website TVNewser caught CBS putting Couric on a diet in its Watch magazine by altering a photo of her from the network’s upfront presentation that substantially thins her waist and face. The Website showed the magazine’s version next to the version originally taken at the network’s ad presentation in Carnegie Hall last May.
Magazine photos are altered all the time. However, this alteration comes as the network is struggling to portray longtime NBC Today Show co-host Couric as a news anchor with the gravitas to convey serious news.
A CBS spokesman says only that "the editorial staff of Watch magazine retouched the photo without the knowledge of Katie Couric or CBS news management" and would not elaborate further.
However, the alteration is completely an inside job. Much of the production and ad sales of the quarterly magazine are handled by an outside custom publisher, but the editorial content is all prepared by CBS’ own communications department. The magazine’s masthead says that Executive VP, Communications, Gil Schwartz is editor in chief and Director of Communications Jeremy Murphy is editor.
Murphy— who actually puts out the magazine—would not comment Tuesday, but in an interview in PR Week when the magazine was announced last year, Murphy said, "It really is a journalistic enterprise. We're putting together a magazine that will be useful."
Tongue in cheek, Schwartz says that "nothing in Watch magazine has done anything to diminish Katie's true stature."
Through a spokesman, Couric says that she prefers the original photo "because there's more of me to love."
Probably just a fluke.......
MSM keeps shooting themselves in the foot.
No wonder they want a gatekeeper for the Internet.
They used to be able to filter and interpret news [aka, hoodwink] for the general public.
No wonder they pine for the good ole days.
Oh!
Oh!!
I know!!!!

She was on the Cindy Sheehan ice cream fast. Katie lost 20 and Cindy gained them.
Somewhere in Atlanta, there's a zipper moving
Her feet look thinner in the photo on the right, too.
What? Those are her ears? Never mind.
Black is slimming. Too bad they couldn't PS her mind!
Let's hope she wears black for her election coverage shows.
Katie Couric drinks toilet water.
