The photo of Mrs. Couric was manipulated by having Katie appear much much slimmer than the original photo. Her figure and face were altered very much in the photo which was posted by Watch Magazine in September. Katie appears to be as thin as a supermodel and her face appears to be perfectly shaped to fit her "new" altered figure. The photo that was altered is not as bright as the original photo of Mrs. Couric. The lighting was dimmed in the altered photo. I believe the digital enhancing photo was manipulated in a Hollywood way. By Hollywood I mean that the Watch Magazine altered the photo so Mrs. Couric could appear Hollywood thin and picture perfect for the readers. In reality as Katie is shown in the original photo she appears more curvaceous and in honestly more lovely than the typical Hollywood thin figure the altered photo of her.
I believe no harm was done in any way but I disagree in altering the photo so that Mrs. Couric could appear much much slimmer than she normally is. The altered image just sets a negative impression on how people are perceived to look like and what role models should look like as well but size does not matter. A person's figure should not be altered because it is then considered a fake photo. In real life Mrs. Couric or anybody else that digitally enhances their photo to appear slimmer should not because they should be proud of what they got no matter of what their circumstances are. A person is beautiful inside and out. A role model is looked up to because of what they do and how they act not on how their figures look.

I chose this one too!
I agree with you; people should not alter images just to make a person look better to the public.
I like what you had to say Alexa:)I also agree with you about the negative effects tampered pictures can have on women today.
I very much agree with you! I think Katie looked better before they altered her picture. Sometimes I think these kinds of changes give off the wrong impression for women all over the United States that model thin is the only shape that is in.
