Dave, for IP, if you wish...

A quarter of a century ago, or less, there was an enormous fuss when  
National Geographic digitally moved one of the Pyramids to make it fit  
their cover a little better.

Now, you would be foolish to believe anything that you see:

"My belief," says Scott Kelby, president of the Florida-based National  
Assn. of Photoshop Professionals, "is that every single major magazine  
cover is retouched. I don't know how they couldn't be." But don't stop  
there. Aside from U.S. newspapers, most of which do not permit photos  
to be manipulated, it's quite possible that the vast majority of  
images seen in the public arena have been altered.

I had no idea there is such a thing as the National Association of  
Photoshop Professionals, but it doesn't surprise me.
