Photo Doctoring
This is a digitally tampered image of actress Kate Winslet, to make her appear thinner. Here is the related BBC news article about the airbrushing.
A doctored photo of Jennifer Aniston, which is a composite of 3 different images of her. This USA Today article lists other cover photo "airbrush" scandels including Julia Roberts and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Most celebrity/model photos are manipulated or airbrushed in some way.
But, while researching manipulated images, I found this extremely shocking:
Now, if you really want something to Grrr! about when it comes to altered photos, Reuters journalists and photographers have reported that international photographers regularly have corpses dug up from their graves and stage rescue operations for their photo essays in places like Beirut and more than likely — although not included in the Reuters report — Bosnia and Kosovo. - Mike Straka
This type of photo doctoring is dangerous, and unacceptable; however, it's been found in most major news agency - most recently Reuters.
A third example of a doctored image is of a hovering U.S. Air Force helicopter, where a SHARK has been added in for a sensational effect. The second picture is the original image of the helicopter (HH-60G Pave Hawk Helicopter - Photo by Lance Cheung
U.S. Air Force Photo ), and the third image is a photograph of a Great White Shark taken by Charles Maxwell (Cape Town, South Africa).
